ABOUT PRODUCTID 20013
This sugar bowl from the 1920s is an example of Polish artisanal craftsmanship characteristic of the Art Nouveau era. Made of silver-plated brass, it features a matte to semi-gloss silver finish with cool tones, highlighted by natural patina and darkening, especially on the base and floral details. Inside, a cut glass insert with a diamond pattern captures and reflects light, adding gentle sparkle. The exterior is adorned with three-dimensional floral and leaf motifs typical of Art Nouveau: flowing, organic lines, naturalistic forms, and symmetrically curled handles. The domed lid has a rounded finial that matches the silver-plated surface. All joints and soldering are executed with attention to detail, reflecting the early 20th-century standards of craftsmanship. The overall condition is good, with visible signs of age such as patina and minor surface wear, but without major damage or repairs.This piece speaks with the voice of an era when nature and craft converged in the flowing ornamentation of Art Nouveau. The silver-plated body and glass liner evoke the atmosphere of elegant interwar parlors, where the daily tea ritual became a small celebration. Gentle tarnishing and subtle traces of time lend authenticity, as though the sugar bowl recalls past gatherings and moments suspended in the soft glow of diffused light.The sugar bowl can be paired with period-style porcelain or cut glass to create a cohesive Art Nouveau table setting. It would work well on a classic linen tablecloth or alongside minimalist modern accessories, where its decorative presence becomes a distinctive accent. It suits collector’s interiors, eclectic dining rooms, or as a detail on a living room sideboard, underscoring the connection between history and everyday rituals.
