ABOUT PRODUCTID 19796
This Art Deco soup cup, produced by the Warsaw-based Norblin manufactory in Poland during the 1930s, is crafted from brass with a silver-plated finish. The design features a wide, gently flared bowl that sits steadily on a rounded base, while the handle—elongated and turned upward in a subtly geometric twist—provides both function and decoration in keeping with the era. The matte surface displays a distinctive patina that shifts fluidly from muted silver tones to glints of gold and copper, bearing witness to the natural aging of the metal. The cup is free from overt ornamentation, highlighting the deliberate simplicity and streamlined elegance typical of Art Deco. The object shows moderate to pronounced signs of use and age-related patina; however, the structure is intact with no visible cracks or losses, attesting to its authenticity. Condition: good.This vessel echoes the refined atmosphere of urban salons in interwar Poland—a time when silver-plated tableware served as a symbol of understated sophistication and modernity. Its minimalist form and geometric handle relay the design language of a decade that cherished harmony and functional elegance over elaborate ornament. The patina and scattered marks speak of repeated use, lending the cup the gravitas of a well-lived past—much like a silent witness to both austere winters and lively gatherings.The cup may be used both functionally and decoratively. It could hold a delicate consommé or velvety soup in a classically arranged dining area, or be paired with mid-century porcelain and displayed in a collector’s cabinet alongside other metal Art Deco pieces. For a catalogue-style 1920s or 1930s interior, it may be accompanied by geometric glassware and muted textiles; in an eclectic setting, one might juxtapose it with opaline glass or textured ceramics for visual contrast.
