ABOUT PRODUCTID 12222
This interwar soup tureen from the 1930s, crafted by the Norblin factory in Warsaw from silver-plated brass, exemplifies Polish Art Deco craftsmanship. The symmetrical, rounded body rests on a wide, flared pedestal and is topped with a domed lid featuring a tiered, stylized knob. The gently arched handles are seamlessly integrated with the form, highlighting the streamlined, aerodynamic character of the era. The surface is a cool, silver matte with a natural, uneven patina—subtle areas of darkening and lighter, worn spots, especially on the body and handles, attest to authentic age and use. On the front, engraved initials or markings ('W Z G I') add historical depth and reinforce the object’s provenance. The construction is precise, with well-defined edges and carefully finished joints. The tureen is preserved in very good condition, with only minor surface wear and a dignified patina typical for its age and material.The form of this tureen evokes the spirit of the 1930s, when geometric discipline met the elegant simplicity of Polish modernism. The metallic surface, softly catching the light, seems to recall tables filled with conversation and the delicate clink of porcelain. Every detail—from the symmetrical handles to the domed lid—carries echoes of urban sophistication and interwar optimism. The patina and gentle traces of use do not diminish its noble character, but rather speak to the continuity of Polish table traditions.This type of tureen could serve as a centerpiece for a festive Art Deco table setting or be displayed on a sideboard in a classic, collector’s, or eclectic interior. It may be paired with porcelain featuring geometric patterns or simple glassware to emphasize its historical lineage. It also works as a decorative accent within a vintage collection—alongside silver,
