This sugar bowl, basket-shaped and crafted from nickel-plated brass with a gold-plated interior, originates from Germany in the early 20th century—an era marked by the flourishing of Art Nouveau. The body rests on a raised, circular foot adorned with delicate beaded decoration, providing both stability and a flowing silhouette. The exterior presents a cool, silvery tone with a high-gloss finish, contrasted by the warm, matte gold interior. The rim features a rhythmic, scalloped pattern that continues seamlessly from outside to inside, emphasizing the organic aesthetic of the period. The nickel-plated handle is softly arched, enhanced by two round cut-outs, reinforcing the basket motif. The proportions are balanced, with a wide, open bowl and a sturdy base. The surface displays only minor signs of use: fine scratches and a gentle patina, with no major damage or repairs. The piece is preserved in very good condition, retaining its original period details.This sugar bowl echoes the voice of Art Nouveau—its soft lines and ornamental details tell the story of an era when art permeated the everyday.
