ABOUT PRODUCTID 11678
This Art Nouveau sugar bowl by WMF, dating from the early 20th century, exemplifies German metal craftsmanship in silver-plated brass. The matte, silvery body bears traces of natural patina and subtle tarnishing, lending a distinct sense of age. Two symmetrical handles feature stylized, organic botanical motifs and flowing lines emblematic of the Art Nouveau movement. The vessel is encircled by a delicate, undulating engraved pattern, while the wide, shallow bowl rests on a flared, stable pedestal adorned with a raised floral frieze. The proportions are harmonious, with construction details such as soldered joints at the handles and a seamless transition between the bowl and the base. The surface finish varies: the main body is matte and engraved, while the base and handles offer a slightly more polished but restrained sheen. Condition is very good for its age: minor scratches, discoloration, and gentle wear to the plating are visible, but there are no significant damages or repairs—every element appears original and authentic, with no signs of restoration.The form of this sugar bowl speaks with the voice of its era: organic lines and floral motifs conjure the ambiance of fin-de-siècle European salons, where every object was a small work of functional art. One can imagine the silvery surface reflecting candlelight during evening gatherings, while the ornate handles invite the daily ritual of sweetening tea. Every subtle detail and ornamental flourish reveals the era’s commitment to both utility and artistic expression.The sugar bowl may be displayed on a period tray or a wooden sideboard in the living room, where it pairs well with porcelain cups or a crystal decanter.
