ABOUT PRODUCTID 20068
This Art Nouveau sugar bowl from early 20th-century Poland, crafted by Plewkiewicz, exemplifies the Secessionist approach to tableware design. Fashioned from silver-plated brass with a cool, silvery hue and gently matte surface, the bowl features a finely executed guilloche pattern on its upper body, imparting a subtle geometric texture. The vessel is raised on a stepped, circular base, ensuring stability and balanced proportions. Two ornate, asymmetrical handles with flowing, organic lines and delicate reliefs are attached at either side, a hallmark of the Art Nouveau style. The wide, open bowl tapers gracefully toward the base, emphasizing an elegant, harmonious silhouette. The craftsmanship and decorative detail reflect the high standards of Polish applied art from this period. The surface displays minor signs of age, including gentle patina and slight wear, but the piece remains in good, authentic condition with no visible damage or restoration.This vessel quietly tells a story of an era when the rituals of the table embodied a sense of everyday ceremony. The guilloche pattern reflects light in a rhythmic geometry, evoking the ambiance of Secessionist salons where artistry and utility were inseparable. The fluid, plant-inspired handles recall a time when designers sought beauty in organic forms—metal rendered as if in dialogue with nature, quietly enriching daily gestures. The soft matte finish and hints of patina suggest the sugar bowl was witness to many gatherings, preserving the atmosphere of a bygone age.The Plewkiewicz sugar bowl would work well as a functional accent on a traditionally set table, complementing porcelain dinnerware and fresh flowers in a glass vase.
