ABOUT PRODUCTID 20059
This 1930s sugar caster is an example of British Art Deco craftsmanship, combining hand-decorated glass with elements of silver-plated brass. The body, with a subtly flared base, presents a warm gradient of colors: sandy beige at the bottom, through soft orange and yellow, to a pale cream at the top. The matte to satin finish accentuates the gentle form and the subdued play of light on its surface. The central decorative motif is a hand-painted scene depicting a figure riding a camel among palm silhouettes in a desert landscape, executed in deep black and muted blue-violet tones, with careful attention to perspective and detail. The upper part features a pierced, silver-plated brass lid, cut in geometric and floral patterns, topped with a spherical finial and marked with visible hallmarks. The overall condition is very good, with no cracks or chips in the glass and only minor signs of age and natural wear on the metal.This sugar caster tells a story of imagined Orient, so captivating for the Art Deco era. Its hand-painted scene evokes the spirit of travel and exotic inspirations characteristic of the 1930s, when Europe eagerly drew on motifs from distant lands. The soft color gradient and matte surface create an atmosphere of gentle chiaroscuro, while the silver-plated, pierced lid whispers of the precision of old workshops. The whole object radiates calm and restrained ornamentation, embodying the era’s search for a balance between
