ABOUT PRODUCTID 4445
This Art Deco sauce boat, produced by Br. Henneberg in Warsaw during World War II, exemplifies the streamlined, functional design language of the early 20th century. Crafted from silver-plated white metal, it features an elongated, gently curved body transitioning into a pronounced, upward-sweeping spout and a high, arching handle with a subtle decorative curl at the top. The circular, slightly raised base ensures stability and harmonious proportions. Its cool, silvery tone gives a soft, matte sheen, while the surface remains unadorned, emphasizing the minimalist, geometric essence characteristic of Art Deco. Underside marks—an oval with the factory name, an eight-pointed star, catalog number, swastika, and 'DH' initials in Gothic script—reflect the historical context and circumstances of its production. The sauce boat is in excellent condition, with no visible dents or wear; the surface retains its original luster and uniform reflection. Within this object lies the narrative of an era when functionalism met the demands of wartime industry. Its form, stripped of superfluous ornamentation, speaks in the voice of the 1940s—a time when craftsmanship navigated the shadow of history. The slender silhouette and architectural detailing evoke a yearning for order and modernity, even amid challenging realities. The metallic sheen and precision of construction subtly recall the aspirations of interwar modernism, persisting despite the circumstances of war. This sauce boat may be integrated into a classic dining setting, complementing porcelain or period silverware collections. It would also serve as a striking accent in contemporary interiors—set against dark wood or a minimalist tablecloth, emphasizing material contrasts. It can be paired with other
