ABOUT PRODUCTID 19965
This pressed glass sugar bowl, produced by Huta Hortensja in Poland during the 1970s, embodies the postmodern 'new look' style characteristic of the era. The transparent, cool-toned glass has a subtle greyish undertone that lends the piece a neutral character, while the glossy surface enhances its clarity and brilliance. The cylindrical body features straight, vertical sides and is complemented by a substantial sculpted lid with a prominent spiral-shaped knob. Decorative relief swirls encircle both the lid and the lower part of the bowl, adding a striking texture and a rhythmic, geometric visual interest. The glass is thick and robust, typical of pressed glassware from this period, ensuring durability. The proportions are balanced and harmonious, and the overall condition is very good—with only minor age-related signs of use, no chips or cracks evident.This sugar bowl speaks in the voice of the 1970s, a time when Polish glassware embraced innovative decoration and bold geometric forms. The spiral reliefs seem to narrate a story of a search for new formal solutions, where utility meets expressive, graphic ornamentation. The dynamic lid knob takes on the role of a small sculptural accent, while the interplay of light on the glass highlights the tension between function and decoration. The vessel appears to declare: “I am a witness to an era when even everyday objects bore the marks of artistic experimentation.”It may be paired with other pressed glass or porcelain pieces from the 1960s and 1970s to emphasize a retro atmosphere at the table. The sugar bowl works well in minimalist settings, where it stands as a subtle accent, or in eclectic vintage collections alongside colorful decanters or ceramic trays. Consider combining it with plain textiles or simple tableware to allow its spiral motifs and glass sheen to take center stage during tea or dessert gatherings.
