Description from the seller
Centerpiece in boat shape with rose medallions • Hortensja (attrib.), Poland • model of the 1930s
Glass centerpiece in boat shape, with a pressed rose on both sides in an oval medallion. The toothed ends rise up like a bow. With 27 centimeters in length and almost two kilograms, this is the large version of the model. Filled with Christmas balls, evergreen branches, or flowers, it sits in the middle of the festivity table, where the candlelight plays through the relief.
For this object a Buy Now price has also been set, for those who want to acquire it immediately without waiting.
Description:
Oval, boat-shaped body with raised, toothed ends and a sawtooth edge. Each medallion features a rose with three leaf pairs, surrounded by fans of leaf ribs. A short shaft with a four-sided block carries the diamond-shaped foot with a toothed edge; beneath the bowl rays extend to a circular plane. The relief is sharply and deeply pressed, and the glass is thick. A Polish auction house in Kielce offered a smaller version in 2024 as Hortensja model 292 from the 1930s.
About the maker:
Emil Haebler founded the glass workshop Hortensja in 1889 in Piotrków Trybunalski. Hortensja pressed and blew household glass and also produced glass in the Art Deco style in the 1930s. Boat-shaped bowls with toothed edge and relief belonged to the workshop. The German database Pressglas-Pavillon shows more from 1937. After 1945 Hortensja became a state-owned company; around the turn of the century the workshop closed.
In the interior:
As the centerpiece of a dinner, birthday, or Christmas table, or on a sideboard or mantle. The colorless glass takes on the color of what is inside it.
Condition:
Good, with signs of use. Edge and ends: a few small brown-orange specks. Foot well: a rust-colored streak in the corner. Press seams, bubbles, and slight dullness deep in the relief are production characteristics. No chips, cracks, or repairs observed. See the photographs. Offered as a decorative object, not intended for use with food.
At a glance:
Material: colorless pressed glass
Dimensions and weight: h 22 x l 27 x w 15 cm, 1960 grams
Brand: no factory mark, signature, or label found
Dating: model from the 1930s, Hortensja catalog number 292
Origin: private collection, Western Europe
Description and sources:
Attributed to Hortensja, Piotrków Trybunalski. Form, rose medallion, sawtooth edge, and diamond foot correspond to the Kielce lot and to Polish offerings of model 292. One of them is nearly the same overall size. In the large German and British press glass databases, this boat shape on a foot does not appear.
