These "fake" plastic crystal pieces were deeply aligned with socialist philosophy, which sought to democratize design through the concept of attainable luxury. By utilizing industrial polymers to mimic the intricate geometry of traditional cut glass, these trays allowed the everyday household to enjoy a sophisticated tabletop aesthetic without the high cost of lead crystal. Each tray, weighing a substantial 75g, features a textured relief that captures light beautifully, reflecting the era's fascination with space-age materials and geometric patterns. This set serves as a fascinating historical artifact of a time when plastic was celebrated as a revolutionary medium for bringing elegance to the masses. See less
