ABOUT PRODUCTID 19907
This basket-style sugar bowl, produced by WMF in Germany during the 1920s, exemplifies the artistry of Art Nouveau tableware. The construction features two main components: a frosted, milky-white glass insert with vertical ribbing and a gently scalloped rim, set within an ornate, openwork silver-plated pewter holder. The metal frame presents a cool, muted silver tone with a matte finish and soft patina, accentuating subtle geometric motifs and symmetrical, angular handles with openwork details. The low, wide proportions and decorative rivets at the base evoke a harmonious, functional composition, while the structure securely cradles the glass insert. The piece shows no cracks or major damage, and its overall condition is good, with minor tarnishing and light surface scratches typical for its age.This sugar bowl seems to echo the refined spirit of the early twentieth century—a period when table accessories were an expression of taste and contemporary style. Its organic lines and interplay of light on the frosted glass recall the desire to unite function with ornament. The vessel appears to whisper stories of elegant tea gatherings, where silvered pewter and satin glass elevated the ritual of the table; a gentle patina remains as an authentic trace of its era.The sugar bowl could be paired with pale porcelain or minimalist coffee sets to enhance its Art Nouveau delicacy. On the table, it would harmonize with a dark wooden tray, plain glassware, or silver teaspoons, emphasizing a collector's sensibility. In interiors inspired by Art Nouveau, classic dining rooms, or eclectic spaces with vintage elements,
