ABOUT PRODUCTID 18604
This rectangular Art Deco sugar bowl from the 1930s, produced by Jarra in Kraków, exemplifies the era’s rigorous minimalism. Crafted from silver-plated alpacca, it features a cool, matte, subtly textured surface. Its construction is purely geometric, free from ornamentation—with four spherical ball feet elevating the body, adding a restrained modernist flourish expected from the period. The lid sits flush with the vertical sides and is crowned with a small, flat handle, underscoring the vessel’s unembellished silhouette. The interior is gilded, offering a tasteful contrast to the austere exterior. Overall, the piece remains in good condition: the surface bears a patina, localized dulling, and age-related discolorations, especially near the base and corners, providing tangible evidence of its vintage character. All components are original with no visible repairs or replacements.This sugar bowl quietly echoes the voice of modernist Kraków in the 1930s, suggesting that simplicity can embody clarity, and that minimalism translates into the everyday rituals of coffee or tea. The gilded interior hints at a moment of understated celebration, while the subdued silvered exterior reveals traces of time and continued use. Its geometric design, built on contrast and poise, references a period when functionality and aesthetic discipline became defining values of the modern era.Such a piece might be displayed on a wooden sideboard or marble countertop, alongside simple, geometric cups or crystal vessels, to underscore its architectural form. It would harmonise with curated Art Deco interiors as well as spaces that blend historical detail with contemporary restraint or cool minimalism. One could pair it with chrome accents,
