ABOUT PRODUCTID 6541
This sugar bowl, designed by Andrzej Szadkowski and produced by the Resovia manufactory in Rzeszów in 1979, exemplifies late modernist Polish design. Crafted from brass plated with silver, it features a cool, silvery hue and a highly reflective, mirror-like surface. The body takes the form of a perfect sphere, resting on a discreet, flat base; the lid, also spherical, is topped with a small, flared knob. The accompanying spoon, 8 cm in length, continues the minimalist language of the design, ending in a small geometric sphere. The entire piece is free of decoration or ornamentation, emphasizing functional clarity and precise execution. Each component is carefully matched for form and proportion. The condition is very good, with only minimal signs of use such as fine surface scratches, and no dents or discoloration. This object tells the story of the late 1970s, when modernist ideals of pure form and reduction to functional essence remained influential in Polish design. Its gleaming sphere carries an echo of the era’s cosmopolitan inspirations—fascination with space, technology, and precision. The smooth, silvery surface reflects light and its surroundings, turning the simple act of serving sugar into a small, contemporary ritual. The sugar bowl’s minimalism is not cold; instead, it suggests a sense of balance and calm, inviting a moment’s pause with a cup of coffee. The sugar bowl can be paired with porcelain featuring crisp, geometric lines or simple glassware, creating a harmonious composition on a modern table. It would work well in minimalist interiors with a mid-century modern accent, as well as in eclectic collector’s spaces, where it could contrast with warmer materials such as wood or ceramics. It is worth combining with other coffee service pieces from the same era or minimalist
