ABOUT PRODUCTID 19951
This 1960s sugar bowl is a testament to Polish mid-century modern utilitarian design. It features a solid construction of two primary elements: a thick-walled, transparent glass insert with vertical ribbing, set firmly in a softly rounded, matte silver-plated brass base. The form is compact and geometric, with a cylindrical upper section meeting a gently contoured base. There are no handles or decorative flourishes; instead, the understated interplay of glossy glass and subtly brushed metal, bearing a light patina, defines its visual presence. The condition is good—only minor age-appropriate marks attest to its vintage provenance.The sugar bowl’s restrained minimalism echoes the clarity and practicality of the 1960s, when designers favored pure form and function over embellishment. The transparent glass, rhythmic ribbed texture, and cool sheen of silver plate evoke postwar optimism, reflecting an era in which everyday objects were meant to be both reliable and visually refined. In this simplicity, the piece speaks with the voice of its time: it does not dominate the table, but quietly accompanies daily rituals, subtly highlighting the shared culture of breakfast or afternoon tea.This sugar bowl can be paired with calm-lined porcelain or simple glassware to emphasize its modernist character. It would work well in a dining room styled after mid-century modern principles, as well as in a more contemporary, minimalist setting. It harmonizes with wooden accents, steel trays, or linen napkins—best combined with other tableware of simple form to bring out its raw, timeless appeal.
