ABOUT PRODUCTID 19971
This sugar bowl from the 1970s, produced by Huta Hortensja in Poland, is a striking example of the postmodern 'new look' style of its era. Made of pressed, clear glass with a cool, neutral hue, it features a substantial, robust construction and high clarity. The surface is glossy and smooth, reflecting light and emphasizing the geometric, sculptural qualities of the design. Concentric ovals and circular motifs dominate the relief patterns on both the body and lid, while a distinctive, large circular handle tops the lid, echoing the geometric theme. The glass is thick, solid, and precisely finished, with sharply defined lines and a seamless junction between the lid and base. The condition is very good: there are no chips, cracks, or significant signs of use; the original finish and authenticity have been retained.This piece tells the story of the 1970s through its form and play of light. The pressed glass embodies the era's fascination with monumentality and playful geometry, while the oversized lid handle recalls futuristic influences and a relaxed approach to traditional tableware. The reflective surface animates the sugar bowl with every movement, as if inviting attention and introducing a graphic note to the daily ritual. Its sculptural silhouette seems to whisper of a time when even a simple table accessory became a statement of style.The sugar bowl may be displayed on a contemporary light wood table or a glass tray, where its reliefs catch the light from both natural and artificial sources. It can be paired with other 1970s pieces—geometric glass cups, minimalist steel sugar tongs, or porcelain in neutral tones. Interiors in the spirit of postmodernism, collectors' eclecticism,
