The 'Asteroid' plate set, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for Huta Szkła Gospodarczego 'Ząbkowice', stands as a distinctive example of Polish utilitarian design from the 1960s. The set includes one large serving plate (23 cm diameter) and six smaller dessert plates (14 cm diameter), all crafted from pressed soda-lime glass, colored in the mass. The clear, slightly frosted glass features an irregular, raised pattern of bubbles and craters, evoking the surface of an asteroid and deeply rooted in the mid-century modern aesthetic. Each piece displays fluid, circular forms with gently sloping edges and smooth rims that contrast with the richly textured centers. The construction is seamless with meticulously finished edges, underscoring the quality of craftsmanship. The set is preserved in very good condition—free of damage or repairs, with only minimal signs of use consistent with its age.This set echoes the voice of an era eager for innovation and fascinated by light and material. 'Asteroid' glassware speaks of the 1960s’ cosmic inspirations and the boldness of Polish glassworks seeking new formal expressions. The textured surfaces capture and scatter light in a playful dance, and every bubble-like protrusion recalls a time when the dream of space exploration colored everyday life—a tableware set that introduces a spirit of curiosity and modernity into any interior.The set may be paired with simple white porcelain or contrasted with boldly patterned textiles to create a balanced, mid-century modern table setting.

The plates and serving dish are suitable for desserts, fruit, or appetizers, allowing the unique texture and luminosity of
