ABOUT PRODUCTID 8445
This pressed glass tray from Huta Szkła Inwald, produced in Dubi in the 1930s, exemplifies Czech Art Deco design. Crafted from solid, weighty glass colored in a rich, deep cobalt blue, its mirror-like, glossy surface accentuates the vibrancy and depth of the hue. The rectangular form is outlined by gently raised, scalloped edges and two broad, rectangular handles seamlessly integrated into the body. Vertical, evenly spaced ribbed grooves run across the surface, imparting dynamic texture and creating a lively interplay of light and shadow. The glass is thick and substantial, characteristic of the period’s pressing techniques. The tray is preserved in very good condition—no chips, cracks, or significant wear, only minimal traces of use consistent with its age.The tray’s form evokes the spirit of modernizing Europe in the 1930s: geometric lines, a symmetrical layout, and saturated color reflect the fascination with rhythm and order so typical of Art Deco. The cobalt blue surface captures and reflects light like a midnight lake, while the precise ribbing tells of a time when glassware embodied both daily practicality and the pursuit of modernist expression. This piece carries the cool, elegant clarity and functional ethos of its era, serving as a testament to the visual energy of the period.The tray can serve as a bold accent atop a sideboard in the living room—well-suited to displaying barware, silver accessories, or minimalist ceramics. It would also function as a striking base for decanters, glasses, or a candelabra, particularly when paired with metallic objects that draw out its cool sheen. Interiors inspired by Art Deco, modernism, or eclectic collector’s arrangements will showcase its geometric silhouette and vibrant color to full effect.
