Set of 6 glass drink stirrers with ice-like textured base, Poland, 1970s.
Evoking the crystalline stillness of a frozen lake, this set of six glass stirrers rests in a sculptural base of textured glass — its surface irregular and glacial, as if shaped by nature rather than hand. Each stirrer is delicately crafted, balancing lightness with precision, designed to gently swirl rather than stir with force. The ensemble brings to mind a laboratory of leisure: quiet rituals, elegant gestures, and the invisible choreography of aperitifs.
Minimal in form yet rich in sensorial associations, the set exemplifies a mid-century fascination with transparency, reflection, and the illusion of suspended time. Whether displayed or in use, it blurs the boundary between function and fiction — an art object disguised as a tool for hospitality.
