This 19th-century Belgian sugar bowl is crafted from silver-plated brass, lending it a cool, slightly warm silver tone with a soft satin-matte finish.

Four solid lion-paw feet provide stability and a distinct historic accent. The construction is robust, with visible solder joints at the foot attachments, reflecting traditional artisanal techniques. The fitted lid follows the elliptical contour, ensuring secure closure and protection of contents.
