ABOUT PRODUCTID 20066
This Art Deco sugar bowl from the 1930s, crafted in Germany, exemplifies the era’s affinity for silver-plated brass with a cool, mirror-like sheen. The cylindrical body is adorned with vertical beaded strips, evenly spaced to reinforce the symmetry and geometric clarity characteristic of Art Deco. The domed lid is topped with a cylindrical knob in matte, taupe-gray Bakelite—an early plastic that signified the era’s embrace of new materials. Both lid and body repeat the beaded border motif, creating a unified and precise decorative rhythm. The vessel stands on three small, spherical metal feet, lending it a poised, jewel-like stance. The construction is solid and refined, with smooth surfaces and well-defined details throughout. The piece is in very good condition, with only minor signs of use consistent with its age, and no visible damage or repairs, thus preserving its authenticity.This sugar bowl echoes the voice of the 1930s—a time when everyday objects took on sculptural significance. Its silvery surface reflects light much like a parlor mirror, while the geometric beading suggests order and sophistication in a world reaching toward modernity. The Bakelite finial alludes to the era’s fascination with technological progress and innovative materials. It conjures scenes of afternoon tea in a Berlin apartment, where each detail was carefully considered and contributed to the metropolitan rhythm of daily life.The sugar bowl could be paired with porcelain of clean, geometric lines or pastel-tinted glassware to highlight its metallic coolness and restrained Art Deco aesthetic. It would make a distinctive statement in modernist interiors, eclectic collections, or classic settings with a nod to the 1920s and 1930s. It works well as a standalone piece on an oak table, surrounded by silver cutlery or minimalist linen
