ABOUT PRODUCTID 20056
This sugar bowl, produced by the German firm WMF in the 19th century, is a testament to the eclectic craftsmanship of the era’s tableware. The body is made of brass plated with silver, distinguished by a cool, mirror-like sheen and finely executed openwork. Symmetrical floral and geometric motifs form a delicate lattice, through which the deep blue of the glass liner subtly emerges, adding a striking color accent and visual depth. The domed lid features a pressed border and an ornate sculpted finial with scrollwork and a central sphere. The broad, rounded base ensures stability and well-balanced proportions. The surface shows no signs of damage or wear; all components are preserved in their original, excellent condition.The form of this sugar bowl speaks in the voice of late 19th-century Europe, when table settings became showcases for artisanal skill and creative imagination. The openwork decoration reveals a fascination with detail and the freedom to blend motifs from various eras—from historicist ornamentation to the geometric rhythms anticipating modernity. The blue glass, visible through the intricate metalwork, might recall evening gatherings over tea, lamplight reflecting on silvered surfaces, and the celebration of everyday rituals in an age that valued both beauty and utility.This sugar bowl could be displayed on a classic polished wood tray or among porcelain cups and hand-cut crystal, where the interplay with glass and light ceramics would highlight its craftsmanship and cool coloration. It would suit eclectic interiors that mix periods and materials, as well as curated, historic collector’s spaces. Pairing it with textiles in shades of gray, navy, or white, and with subtle silver or nickel accents, would emphasize the depth of its detailing and the noble quality of its material.
