ABOUT PRODUCTID 38254
This Art Nouveau sugar bowl, crafted by WMF in Germany at the turn of the 20th century, epitomizes the refined craftsmanship of the fin de siècle era. The body combines highly polished, silver-plated brass with clear, faceted crystal glass, the scalloped edge of which echoes the flowing, organic lines of the metalwork. The piece rests on four delicately curved legs, while its wide, sweeping handles end in stylized flower buds—floral elements that are a hallmark of the Art Nouveau aesthetic. The rim of the body features an embossed, raised motif—likely cornflowers—rendered with crisp definition in the silvered metal. With low, wide proportions (height: 7.6 cm; diameter: 10 cm; length with handles: 16 cm), the bowl’s finish remains lustrous and unmarred, with no visible tarnish, scratches, or signs of repair—testament to its excellent state of preservation.This piece captures the spirit of Art Nouveau, an era when the boundary between art and everyday objects blurred, and function was infused with beauty. The organic curves of the metal and the delicacy of cut crystal evoke the genteel parlours of the Belle Époque, where every detail spoke of cultivated living. The cornflower motif and seamless transitions between glass and metal subtly recall mornings spent
