ABOUT PRODUCTID 19987
This early 20th-century German Art Nouveau sugar bowl showcases a refined interplay of materials and details emblematic of the era. Its main body is crafted from vibrant, translucent orange glass with a glossy finish, set within a silver-plated brass basket. The basket is intricately formed to resemble woven wicker, featuring carefully arranged vertical and horizontal bands and a decorative braided border at the rim. The elegantly arched handle, also silver-plated, attaches gracefully to the sides, while the sugar bowl rests on four small, rounded feet with a textured surface. The overall design embodies the flowing lines and organic motifs characteristic of Art Nouveau. It remains in very good condition, with no visible chips to the glass or significant wear to the silver plating; only subtle traces of patina on the metal affirm its age and authenticity.The sugar bowl evokes the atmosphere of the early 1900s, when Art Nouveau drew inspiration from nature and the geometric rhythms of botanical forms and traditional craftsmanship. The orange glass subtly illuminates its surroundings, calling to mind the ambiance of breakfast tables in bourgeois salons during the Belle Époque, where every object was a testament to the beauty of daily rituals. The metal basket, shimmering gently in the light, reflects the era’s dynamic elegance, combining utility with ornament and attesting to the refined dining culture of the time.This sugar bowl can be paired with turn-of-the-century porcelain, tableware adorned with floral decorations, or pastel-toned glass to create a classic Art Nouveau table setting or an eclectic collector’s interior. It would serve as a central piece during a retro-inspired gathering or alongside silver trays and crystal to accentuate a sophisticated tablescape. It is worth combining it with a white linen tablecloth and natural materials to highlight the dignity of
