ABOUT PRODUCTID 8470
This cylindrical bread box from the 1930s is crafted from metal with a glossy white enamel surface, reflecting the early modernist approach to utilitarian objects. Its minimalist design is free of decorative accents, emphasizing a low, wide silhouette with a domed lid and subtly raised rim for ease of use. The handle and robust front clasp are made of brass, both displaying a natural patina that stands in gentle contrast to the cool white of the enamel. Visible brass rivets and seams highlight the sturdy construction, while the proportions are generous enough for substantial loaves. The overall impression is one of understated functionality in a crisp white tone, characteristic of the interwar period. Condition: very good, with minor enamel chips and light scratches typical of the era; all elements are original, with no signs of restoration.This bread box evokes the spirit of practical kitchens in the 1930s, when every object had its purpose and form followed function. The enameled metal body catches the morning light, recalling the era when modernist principles transformed daily interiors with simplicity and order. The warm patina on the brass fittings serves as a subtle testament to decades past, and the sturdy clasp hints at the ritual of storing fresh bread—a time when durability was a core value of design.In interior arrangements, the bread box can be paired with other enamelware, such as a matching jug or tea canisters from the interwar years, to build a cohesive vintage collection. It also works well as a stand-alone piece on a wooden countertop or metal shelf, where its minimalist silhouette will be the focal point. The bread box brings an authentic touch to kitchens inspired by modernist, vintage, or eclectic collector’s styles; it can be combined with pressed glass from the 1920s–40s or unglazed ceramics to accentuate its historical roots and straightforward design.
