ABOUT PRODUCTID 19901
This late 19th-century Polish sugar bowl, crafted from silver-plated brass, exemplifies utilitarian craftsmanship from the era of late industrialism. Its simple, cylindrical form gently tapers towards the base, rendered in a cool, slightly matte silver tone with a subtle sheen characteristic of aged silver plating. The handle, made from a thin, rounded metal rod, is attached with small, visible rivets, allowing it to pivot freely. The absence of decorations, engravings, or ornaments emphasizes its functional, minimalist nature. Visible seams and joints reflect the solid construction typical of the late 19th century. The condition is good: the surface features only minor signs of use, gentle patina, and slight discoloration, with no major dents or damage.This sugar bowl carries with it the voice of its time, when practicality and durability were paramount. Its matte surface and austere lines echo the industrial spirit of turn-of-the-century Poland—a reminder of manufactories where objects were designed for everyday service, maintaining restraint and simplicity. The gentle patina and faint scratches are like memories etched into metal, bearing witness to long-ago gatherings over tea where the sugar bowl played a quiet role.The basket-shaped sugar bowl would integrate well into a table setting alongside other metal or porcelain vessels from the period, especially in interiors inspired by industrial, historic, or eclectic styles. It can be paired with simple ceramics, glass decanters, or linen napkins to highlight its authentic, utilitarian character. Suitable for a collector’s display of antiques or as a subtle accent in a modern dining room, it finds its place wherever the discreet presence of history is valued.
