ABOUT PRODUCTID 19957
This sugar bowl from the 1950s, crafted in Poland from brass plated with silver, is a study in the restrained elegance of the Art Deco tradition as interpreted in postwar Europe. The piece features a rounded, generous body set atop a gently raised circular base for stability and clarity of silhouette. Its cool, silvery surface bears areas of patina and subtle darkening, most notably around the handles and base, with a smooth, matte finish that reveals the passage of time through fine scratches and small spots. The design is defined by two symmetrically curved handles and a domed lid topped by a simple, round knob, emphasizing balance and a geometric, functional form. The absence of decorative engravings or ornamentation underlines its modernist, utilitarian purpose. The construction is solid, with all elements well-integrated. The overall condition is good: clear signs of use, minor marks, and aging consistent with authentic mid-century items, but no major damage or repairs are present.The form of this sugar bowl quietly echoes an era of postwar rebuilding and rationality—a time when everyday objects were designed to be durable, balanced, and discreet in their expression. The cool sheen of silver-plated metal and geometric simplicity speak to modernist restraint that does not abandon elegance. The rounded lines and subtle patina evoke images of the mid-century table—a site of gatherings where harmony was prized and design served daily life without unnecessary ostentation.This sugar bowl may be paired with porcelain in smooth, geometric shapes or minimalist glassware to highlight its 1950s inspiration. It combines well with textiles in light, neutral tones and other metal details, such as simple cutlery or a period tray. It
