This sugar bowl, produced by HEFRA in 1970s Poland, exemplifies postmodern craftsmanship by combining silver-plated brass with a cool, matte sheen and clear pressed glass. The geometric frame is built on three flat, triangular legs converging at the base, giving the piece a distinct architectural presence. The glass insert, adorned with a rhythmic, geometric cut pattern, offers high transparency and subtly diffuses light. The handle—a simple, arching band of metal—repeats the geometric austerity characteristic of the era. The proportions are balanced: a wide, low bowl contrasts with tall, upright legs and a pronounced handle. The condition is good, with minor scratches, patina, and localized wear to the silver plating, but no significant damage or repairs. The glass insert remains free from chips and cracks.The form of this sugar bowl evokes the voice of Polish postmodernism of the 1970s, a period marked by bold lines and honest materiality. Brass and glass here tell the story of a time when functionality met architectural expression—each detail suggesting a dialogue between brutalism and refined simplicity. The matte brass surface, touched with patina, and the play of light on the cut glass make this sugar bowl a small, functional sculpture—ready to accompany both everyday and collector's table settings.The sugar bowl could serve as an accent piece in a table arrangement inspired by postmodernism or minimalist classics. It would work well alongside simple porcelain, glass plates, or ceramics with geometric motifs. Pairing it with a brushed metal tray or a designer carafe would emphasize its architectural character. It could also provide a counterpoint in a setting of dark wood or among other silver-plated accessories from the era, highlighting its collectible pedigree and sculptural lines.
