This glass tray, produced by the Inwald Glassworks around 1930 in Dubi, Czech Republic, is a classic example of Central European Art Deco. Made from pressed glass colored in mass to a deep, saturated amethyst-purple hue, the tray features a geometric, elongated octagonal silhouette with sharply faceted edges. Integrated, stepped handles on each end reflect the era’s fascination with symmetry and stylized geometry. The surface is smooth and almost mirror-like, emphasizing the purity of both color and form, while the slightly raised rim adds depth and practical function. The proportions are balanced, and the handles are seamlessly incorporated into the overall silhouette. The tray is preserved in excellent condition—showing no signs of use, chips, or restoration. This object tells the story of the 1930s, when Art Deco redefined everyday life through refined simplicity and decorative logic. The deep hue of the glass and its geometric form evoke an era in which even utilitarian objects aspired to be miniature architecture. Its shimmering violet suggests echoes of a jazz night, while the faceted edges recall the stage lights and symmetry of historic café interiors. The tray would complement interiors inspired by Art Deco or 1930s modernism. It could be paired with porcelain in geometric patterns, metallic accents, or minimalist tableware in contrasting shades of black and white. It works beautifully as a decorative accent on a sideboard, coffee table, or console—whether in a living room or a formal dining space. Consider combining it with other glass and metal accessories to highlight its historical yet timeless character. The tray measures 32 cm in length, 15.5 cm in width, and 2.5 cm in height.
