ABOUT PRODUCTID 37588
This Biedermeier crystal sugar bowl, dating from 1840–1880, originates from historic Bohemia and is likely an early work from the renowned Ludwig Moser glassworks in Karlsbad. The vessel is crafted from thick crystal in an intense turquoise blue—its surface is carefully faceted and polished to a mirror-like sheen. The elliptical, cylindrical form with straight sides and a flat base reflects the restrained elegance of the Biedermeier style. The upper edge is subtly beveled, while the whole is crowned with a fire-gilded brass mount in a warm, matte gold tone. The construction is precise, with the metal fitting seamlessly to the glass, and the closure detail offering the only accent of color. The piece is preserved in very good, collectible condition, free from chips, cracks, or discoloration.This sugar bowl embodies the quiet voice of 19th-century Central European bourgeoisie: on one hand, disciplined form; on the other, the discreet luxury of material. The blue crystal catches and reflects the light of the table, while the fire-gilded brass tells a story of an era when craftsmanship was synonymous with prestige. It is a vessel that, like a silent witness of its time, recalls home gatherings and tea rituals—without ever losing its measured charm.The sugar bowl can grace a classical dining table alongside porcelain and silver, or rest atop a sideboard in the living room, where the turquoise crystal becomes a subtle point of radiance. It may be paired with other Biedermeier-era vessels or minimalist ceramics to highlight its historical dialogue. The piece fits seamlessly into both retro collector’s interiors and eclectic arrangements, where it can contrast with the simplicity of modern forms.Height: 9 cm, length: 11 cm, width: 9 cm.
