ABOUT PRODUCTID 19928
This Art Nouveau sugar bowl from Poland, dating to the 1930s, is crafted from silver-plated brass with a cool-toned, high-gloss finish. The structure features a round, slightly flared base supporting a vessel with a smooth, transparent glass insert. Its distinctive arched handle, composed of two parallel metal rods joined at the top, imparts a sense of lightness and offers comfortable handling. Decorative elements include floral or laurel wreath motifs on the handle and small, evenly spaced rosettes adorning both the base and upper rim. All details are rendered in the flowing, organic lines typical of the Art Nouveau style. The piece is in good condition, with no major damage; minor surface scratches and a light patina consistent with age may be present.The form of this sugar bowl subtly reflects the era of its creation—a moment at the crossroads of Art Nouveau and early modernism, when nature-inspired motifs were distilled into increasingly restrained, harmonious lines. The silvery metal surface captures and reflects the play of light as if holding onto the warmth of a late afternoon tea. The glass insert enhances the sense of clarity, while the delicate botanical ornaments evoke a fascination with the plant world, without overwhelming the piece. The lightness of the handle and balanced proportions give the sugar bowl the character of a small functional sculpture—a quiet witness to table rituals nearly a century old.This sugar bowl could be displayed on a classic wooden or marble dining table, surrounded by porcelain and simple glassware. It would suit collector’s interiors referencing the early twentieth century, but could also stand as a singular historic accent in an eclectic setting. It may be paired with other Art Nouveau vessels or incorporated into a minimalist arrangement of glass and metal to highlight its decorative yet utilitarian presence.
