This sugar bowl, crafted by Hefra in Poland during the 1960s, exemplifies silversmithing inspired by Art Nouveau. Its construction features a rounded body and gently flared handles shaped as stylized lily of the valley stems and flowers, echoed atop the domed lid as a sculptural finial. The material is brass plated with silver, lending a cool, mirror-like sheen with occasional hints of patina. The surface is smooth and polished, showing minor scratches and small cracks on the rim indicative of its age. Solidly built with visible soldered joints, the lid is designed with a dedicated notch for a spoon. Original factory marks are present on the base and rim. Condition: good – authentic signs of use and minor rim cracks, with no major damage.There is a nostalgic undertone in this sugar bowl, resonating with the spirit of the 1960s and the echoes of Art Nouveau: the organic lines of the handles evoke botanical flourishes, as if the metal momentarily captured the delicate lightness of lily of the valley. Its high-gloss finish accentuates fleeting plays of light across the curves, while the precise relief work speaks to an era when everyday objects were adorned with craftsmanship and sensitivity to proportion. Every detail—from the rounded form to the subtle notch in the lid—testifies to a careful balance of artistry and utility.The sugar bowl finds its place on a classically set table, paired with porcelain dinnerware or cut crystal glassware. It could be combined with an Art Nouveau tray, a silver-plated creamer, or cups with organic shapes. It would suit both a collector’s display and intimate afternoon tea gatherings in a traditionally styled living room. For a harmonious effect, it can be set on a linen tablecloth or napkin
