Vintage Transparent Decorative Glass Flower Bowls, Drost, Europe, 1960s
Located in 05-080 Hornowek, PL
Pair of decorative transparent basket bowls designed by Jan Sylwester Drost in 1960s from Poland. Bowls are in very good vintage condition, no damage or cracks. Original glass. Beautiful piece for every interior! Only one unique set. About the designer: From 1952 Jan Sylwester Drost studied at the Faculty of Glass of the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, in the studio of Stanislaw Dawski (diploma in 1958), from 1959 he worked as a designer at Zaklady Mechaniczno-Optyczne "Opta" in Katowice. In 1960 Drost started working for forty years at the Design Center of Huta Szkla Gospodarczego "Zabkowice" in Zabkowice Bedzinskie, where he was the organizer, designer and design manager. In 1972 he studied in Sweden, he had the opportunity to learn about the work of glassworks in Orrefors, Johansfors, Lindshammar, Sandvisk, Hofmantorp and in Reijmyre glasbruk. He also practiced in the ceramics factories in Rörstrand and Gustavsberg. Also in 1972, he received a scholarship from the Swedish government, he gained knowledge at the Faculty of Industrial Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Konstfackskolan, at the Centers of Industrial Design in Stockholm and Milan, as well as at the Glass Institute in Växjö. After returning to Poland, he received a two-year creative scholarship from the Council of the Fund for the Development of Artistic Creativity. Drost skillfully combined his technological knowledge of glass pressing with artistic sensitivity, and in the seventies he was granted a patent for a device for forming glass products by extrusion. As a result, vessels with a freely shaped upper rim were created. Drost was constantly involved in coming up with new technological solutions that improved the embossing of patterns. He also experimented in the field of machine processing of the outer surface of the extruder and the inside of the cast iron mold...

Antique and Vintage Platters and Serveware

The antique and vintage serveware on 1stDibs includes serving bowls, platters, tureens and more — everything you need to serve the delicious meal you prepared for guests, whether it’s an intimate dinner or a family event.

When hosting dinner parties for company or the holidays, the kind of serveware you put to use is obviously going to be integral to the whole experience. And there are tricks and tips out there for setting the modern table too. But between meals, the serveware and other tableware you’ve collected over the years to show off in a display cabinet in your dining room will also be integral to your decor, ensuring an air of elegance is part of your gatherings.

Whether you are hosting a formal dinner party or a more relaxed cocktail affair, you should have plenty of food on hand for people to snack on.

“Everybody loves a cheese plate, and it’s so easy to assemble,” explains Athena Calderone, the talent behind the popular lifestyle blog EyeSwoon. “I start with a few favorite cheeses, and then I like to add figs or a sweet chutney, charcuterie and olives. Just something to nibble on.”

The right serveware lends sophistication to any space, whether your favorite porcelain or glassware is on the dining table or in a classic hutch against the wall. No matter the medium, there’s serveware to complement all manner of furniture styles and design preferences. Serveware can be a means of personal expression, and certain pieces and designs over the years have become coveted collector’s pieces to be displayed as art themselves.

Browse the extensive collection of antique and vintage serveware on 1stDibs.
