The WMF sugar bowl from the early 20th century exemplifies German metalwork in the spirit of Art Nouveau. Its classic basket form features a high, arched handle and a broad, round pedestal, crafted from silver-plated white brass. The focal decorative element is an openwork frieze with grapevine motifs—leaves and clusters—characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, seamlessly integrated into the upper rim. Inside, a removable, translucent olive-green glass liner adds a striking accent, visible through vertical cut-outs in the lower metal casing, creating a dynamic interplay of color and light. The basket handle is geometric with pierced details at the joints, while the metal’s matte-satin finish and precise construction complete the cohesive, refined impression. The piece bears the WMF maker’s mark. Condition is very good—the metal displays a uniform patina, with no dents or cracks, and the glass insert is intact, free from chips or scratches.This vessel tells the story of an era when applied arts united technical precision with ornamentation. Early modernism and Art Nouveau converge in a form that, while functional, does not forgo sophisticated detail; the vine motif swirling around the edge evokes abundance and the conviviality of the table. The luminous metal and glossy green glass conjure the atmosphere of elegant European salons at the turn of the 20th century, where every object had a purpose and a narrative of its own.The sugar bowl could be displayed on a console or sideboard in the living room, taking center stage among other antiques or in eclectic collector’s interiors. It pairs well with porcelain tableware, art glass, or silver trays. Consider juxtaposing it with items in the Art Nouveau style
