ABOUT PRODUCTID 19920
This early 20th-century sugar bowl, crafted in the Art Nouveau (Secession) style, is made of silver-plated brass and attributed to the renowned German manufacturer WMF. Its harmonious, gently flared body is finished in a cool, matte silver tone, displaying a subtle patina and minor surface wear consistent with its age. The lid is crowned with a distinctive conical finial adorned with concentric ring detailing, echoed in the horizontal ribbed band encircling the upper part of the vessel. Twin handles feature open, geometric triangular forms with linear accents, referencing the stylized motifs and linearity characteristic of the Secessionist movement. The overall design is marked by restrained elegance, focusing on clean lines and functional form, with solid construction and expertly joined elements showing no visible repairs. Condition is good, with only minor signs of use and no significant damage.This sugar bowl carries the spirit of an era that sought balance between art and daily life. Its silvery surface and geometric details tell the story of the early 20th century, when German craftsmanship and the aesthetics of the Secession movement found their way into everyday objects. Though simple in shape, the piece embodies the ethos of German modernism, where function is intertwined with decoration, and the matte patina serves as a gentle reminder of the passage of time and the refinement it brings.The sugar bowl would be well placed on a classically arranged table alongside porcelain ware and silver teaspoons, highlighting a sense of tradition during tea or coffee gatherings. It can also be paired with other Art Nouveau metal accessories or minimalist white ceramics to emphasize the contrast of textures and eras. In vintage collector interiors or eclectic settings, it serves as a subtle accent, reflecting a passion for refined craftsmanship and the rich history of utilitarian art objects.
