This powdered sugar shaker, crafted in Belgium in the 1930s, exemplifies the Art Deco style with its transparent, faceted glass body shaped into a geometric octagon. The glass is clear, featuring a subtle greenish tint and a smooth, glossy finish. The domed lid is made of silver-plated brass, adorned with horizontal decorative lines and small perforations for precise dispensing. The metal top fits securely onto the glass base, and minor signs of use—surface scratches and tarnish on the metal—signal the piece’s age and authenticity. The glass remains free from cracks or chips. The overall condition is good, consistent with genuine articles from the era.This sugar shaker evokes the voice of the 1930s—a period when everyday objects embraced modernist clarity. Its restrained, geometric form reflects the fascination with precision and transparency that defined Art Deco design. The silver-plated brass lid, with its gentle patina, hints at gatherings around the table when functionality met attention to detail. More than just a vessel for sugar, it preserves stories of past moments and the quiet elegance of daily rituals.It could be paired with porcelain tableware from the 1920s or 1930s, glassware with simple lines, or a classic tray with a chromed finish. The shaker would work well in interiors inspired by Art Deco as well as in eclectic vintage collections, where the play of light on the faceted glass enhances its decorative presence. Placing it on a wooden surface or marble console, alongside a silver-plated spoon or a minimalist sugar bowl in a contrasting color, would highlight its historical silhouette.
