ABOUT PRODUCTID 19945
This early 20th-century sugar bowl from Germany exemplifies Art Nouveau’s translation of everyday objects into refined works of applied art. The main body, crafted from silver-plated brass with a matte, subtly aged patina, stands on three spherical feet. Its surface is adorned with intricate openwork patterns—six-pointed stars formed by heart-shaped motifs, typical of the Secession style. Inside sits a vibrant, marbled orange-red glass liner with yellow and amber accents, offering a warm contrast to the cool, silvery metal. The domed lid features a turned finial, while the arched wire handle remains both functional and understated. The overall proportions are harmoniously balanced, blending geometric structure with organic detail. The sugar bowl is in very good condition: only minor traces of age are visible, and all elements appear authentic and original.In this piece, the voice of the Art Nouveau era can be heard—a period when art permeated everyday rituals. The intricate openwork, inspired by nature’s fluid lines, tells a story of finding beauty in the ordinary. Warm light filtering through the orange glass evokes visions of early 20th-century breakfasts, where color and detail were integral to the table’s ceremony. Silver and glass meet here as a dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and the organic aesthetic emerging at the dawn of the century.The sugar bowl would suit a classically set table among period porcelain and silverware but may also be paired with simple, modern tableware to highlight its decorative character. It brings a subtle accent to interiors guided by Art Nouveau, eclectic collector’s spaces, or contemporary settings that appreciate authentic, artistic objects. For a cohesive, historically inspired table arrangement, it could be combined with a crystal decanter or colored glassware echoing its vibrant insert.
