ABOUT PRODUCTID 19994
This sugar bowl holder from the 1920s, attributed to the renowned German manufacturer WMF, is crafted from pewter with a layer of silver plating. Its design is rooted in the geometric Art Nouveau style, with clear references to Viennese Secession and Gothic influences. The cool, matte silver finish highlights the authentic, unpolished patina of aged metal. Construction is defined by a high, angular handle forming a pronounced architectural arch, while the body is encircled by a band of elongated, pointed cut-outs and smaller geometric perforations. The surface remains primarily matte, with subtle areas of wear, minor scratches, and gentle tarnishing typical of aged silver-plated metal. Precise soldered joints and cleanly cut metalwork attest to the high standard of early 20th-century German craftsmanship. There are no visible dents or significant damages, and the overall condition is good, with an authentic patina and no signs of modern restoration.The form of this sugar bowl echoes the spirit of an era when line and detail reflected the aspirations of a modern world. The architectural handle delineates the geometric order of the table, while the pointed cut-outs recall the aesthetics of 1920s European salons—spaces filled with light and precise forms. The matte silver surface subtly catches surrounding light, as if transporting the user to a time when everyday rituals gained ceremonial significance—a cup of coffee or tea became a deliberate experience, and utilitarian objects were elevated to small works of art.This sugar bowl can be paired with white or pastel porcelain to highlight the cool tone of its silver finish and emphasize its geometric motifs. It would feel at home in historically inspired modernist interiors or in eclectic, collector’s settings, especially alongside other Art Nouveau table accessories or pressed glass from the same
