ABOUT PRODUCTID 19939
This sugar bowl from 1920s Poland is crafted from brass with a layer of silver plating. The form rests on four short, robust feet, each shaped with stylized, flowing lines that evoke the organic motifs of Art Nouveau. The dominant color is a cool, silvery tone with a subtly matte finish, displaying visible patina and areas of gentle darkening typical of silver-plated antiques. Inside, a clear glass liner is etched with large dots and delicate lines, harmonizing with the fluid curves of the metal frame. The front is adorned with a prominent bow relief, and the handle draws attention with its soft, undulating shape. The construction is solid, with visible joints and cast details that preserve the authenticity of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Condition is good: surface wear, occasional darkening of the silver plating, and minor signs of use are present, but there are no major damages or repairs.This piece tells the story of refined everyday life in 1920s Poland—a time when Art Nouveau’s lightness and organic forms still shaped domestic rituals, even as new trends emerged. Metal and glass coexist in quiet harmony, while the bow relief suggests a celebratory gesture, as if inviting guests to the table. The silver’s gentle wear and subtle patina not only mark the passage of decades but underline the authenticity and noble intent of the original design.The sugar bowl will serve as an accent in a classic or eclectic dining room, particularly when paired with porcelain in the Art Nouveau style or minimalist light textiles. It can be set on a simple white tablecloth alongside crystal glassware and silver cutlery to highlight its decorative qualities. In contemporary settings, it may be displayed against plain wood or stone surfaces, providing a subtle, historical counterpoint to modern forms.
