This sugar bowl from the 1950s exemplifies Polish craftsmanship, where postmodernist geometry meets playful Pop-Art accents. The body, crafted from silver-plated brass, adopts a perfect spherical shape topped with a dome-like lid and a polished ball finial as a handle. Two wide, outward-flaring handles create a dynamic counterpoint to the soft curves of the bowl, while the entire piece rests on three small spherical feet, echoing the ball motif. The surface features a cool, silvery tone with a slightly matte finish, showing subtle patina and minor age-related marks—small spots and gentle discoloration typical for metal of this era. The construction bears visible traces of handcrafting—minute irregularities perceptible to the touch underscore the unique, artisanal character. The condition is very good—there are no damages, repairs, or significant signs of wear, only minor surface abrasions consistent with age.The object’s form tells the story of a period when Polish design was experimenting with newfound postwar freedom. Its geometric sphere and striking handles speak in the language of the 1950s, when New Look and Pop-Art influences were gradually entering everyday objects. The silvery surface softly reflects light, highlighting not only its functional purpose but also its decorative dimension. Hand-finished details and delicate patina stand as evidence of an era when the maker’s individuality was as valued as the purity of form.This sugar bowl can be placed on a contemporary table alongside simple-line porcelain or boldly colored glassware, bringing out its Pop-Art heritage. It would pair well with other metals—chrome, copper, or brass—creating a dialogue between different eras and textures. In a vintage collector’s interior, it could be matched with accents from the 1950s and 1960s, while in
