ABOUT PRODUCTID 19959
This sugar bowl was produced in the 1970s by HSG Ząbkowice, a leading Polish glassworks renowned for experimental forms and bold finishes during the era of new postmodernism. Made from pressed hyaloid glass in a deep, opaque black, it features a high-gloss, almost mirror-like surface that accentuates its geometric proportions. The body is adorned with a distinctive diamond pattern, breaking up the light and casting dynamic reflections and subtle shadows. The wavy, irregular rim contrasts with the precise grid of the pattern, while the smooth, glossy stem and base introduce a refined dialogue between texture and sleekness. Its proportions— a wide, flared bowl atop a slender pedestal— highlight its collectible nature. The piece is in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.The form of this sugar bowl echoes the voice of the 1970s, a decade when Polish glass design found new boldness and decorative flair. The black hyaloid glass, at once coolly reserved and almost theatrical, reflects light like the surface of a midnight lake. The diamond relief tells a story of the era’s fascination with pattern and chiaroscuro, while the flowing rim hints at movement and freedom, softening the rigidity of geometry. This is an object that could be the protagonist of a domestic ritual, but also a testament to modernist experimentation— a vessel that holds not only sugar, but also the narrative of Polish design.In an interior, this sugar bowl can take pride of place on a contemporary minimalist table, where its deep black and sculptural form will create a striking accent. It may be paired with white porcelain or chrome details, emphasizing the contrast between eras. It would also work well in
