The Asteroid tableware set, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for the Ząbkowice Glassworks in Dąbrowa Górnicza during the 1960s, exemplifies Polish modernist design that balances functionality with visual appeal. The set includes one large bowl (21 cm diameter, 9 cm height) and six smaller bowls (11.5 cm diameter, 5.5 cm height), all made of pressed soda-lime glass in a delicate, translucent pink (rosaline) hue. The surfaces are adorned with a raised bubble pattern that creates a distinctive tactile texture, while the glossy finish enhances the clarity and brilliance of the glass. The forms are harmonious and rounded, with gently flared rims and smooth, seamless edges. The set is preserved in very good condition, free from chips, cracks, or signs of wear, and the glass retains its original luster.This set tells the story of Polish modernism, when everyday rituals and celebration mingled in the intimacy of the home. The rosaline pink and geometric relief evoke an era when objects glimmered like small asteroids and the fascination with space exploration shaped aesthetic sensibilities. The repeating bubble motif is a subtle nod to the optimism and playful spirit of the 1960s, a time when glassware was meant to satisfy both practical needs and the imagination.The Asteroid set can be paired with simple white porcelain or minimalist stoneware to highlight its decorative quality. It works beautifully in mid-century modern interiors, but would also complement eclectic spaces where bold textures and color accents create a striking visual dialogue. Consider combining it with pastel textiles or glass in contrasting hues to create tabletop arrangements that draw the eye and encourage the celebration of shared moments.The price refers to the entire set, comprising one large bowl and six smaller bowls.
