This eclectic sugar bowl from late 19th or early 20th century Germany is crafted from silver-plated brass, presenting a warm, slightly yellowed silver tone and a distinctive patina. The surface is predominantly matte, with a subtle, aged shine visible in areas of lesser wear. The body is adorned with intricately engraved geometric and floral patterns—repeating diamond and oval motifs bordered by fine dotted lines. The upper section features a row of vertical, openwork slits, adding a sense of airiness to the object. The arched, elevated handle is richly decorated with fine linear engravings and attached to the bowl with visible rivets. The sugar bowl stands on four ornate, openwork legs with stylized, organic forms characteristic of late 19th-century decorative arts. Its proportions are harmonious, with a wide, shallow bowl and a tall, elegant handle underscoring its collectible nature. The condition is good for its age: there are visible signs of use, patina, and minor surface scratches, but no major damage or repairs.The form of this sugar bowl tells a story of the late 19th century, when eclecticism in applied arts allowed for a free interplay of geometric and organic motifs. The engraved patterns evoke the jewelry and table decorations of the era, while the lightness of the openwork details contrasts with the solidity of the metal. The gentle patina and traces of time seem to whisper of long-ago gatherings over tea, where the ceremony of daily rituals followed its own unique rhythm.This sugar bowl may be displayed on a classic dining table alongside porcelain cups, silver-pl
