This early 20th-century sugar bowl from Sweden, crafted from brass and cobalt blue glass, presents a striking interplay of material and form. The warm, golden-yellow hue of the brass body and base exhibits a gentle matte patina, with visible signs of age—natural tarnish, surface wear, and minor scratches. The upper rim features an openwork brass gallery adorned with stylized Art Nouveau motifs: organic, undulating lines merge into a geometric, repeating pattern. The cobalt glass insert shimmers with a deep, cool blue gloss, providing a vivid contrast to the soft sheen of the brass. The tiered, shaped base gives the piece balanced proportions and structural presence typical of refined Art Nouveau tableware. No restoration traces are visible; the construction remains robust, retaining authentic signs of use and age consistent with its vintage. Condition: worn—with natural patina and subtle scratches on the brass that lend the piece a genuine antique presence.The bowl speaks in the voice of an era captivated by the harmony between craftsmanship and the natural world. The openwork brass evokes the gentle motion of waves or twisting vines, while the cobalt insert resembles a northern evening sky glimpsed through curling branches. This sugar bowl hints at a time when even small acts—like serving a spoonful of sugar—were framed by daily rituals and thoughtful decorative choices. The interplay of glossy glass
