This porcelain sugar bowl from the 1960s, most likely produced by the Wawel manufactory in Poland, reflects a period when domestic modernism met decorative tradition. Crafted from glazed ceramic in a cool, slightly off-white tone, it is adorned with a soft floral motif in muted greys, purples, and subtle pinks. The lower portion features a delicate embossed geometric border. Its classically conical form is defined by two angular, widely spaced handles and a gently domed lid topped with a faceted knob, finished with thin gold bands around the rim and lid. There are moderate signs of use in the form of minor surface marks and slight gold wear, but no cracks or chips—preserved in good condition, with original, unrestored elements.This piece evokes the everyday life of the 1960s, when Polish porcelain sought modern simplicity without abandoning ephemeral floral ornamentation. The cool gloss of the glaze and the watercolor-like floral design conjure memories of family gatherings, where practicality was intertwined with subtle aesthetics. Gold details and the geometric frieze discreetly allude to the era’s pursuit of harmony, in which utilitarian objects were expected to enrich daily rituals as much as serve them.The sugar bowl can be paired with other 1960s Polish porcelain, especially pieces featuring botanical or geometric motifs, to emphasize their shared heritage. It presents well against a plain tablecloth and alongside simple glass plates or teacups with delicate gilding. Mid-century modern interiors or collector’s dining rooms benefit from its balanced, tranquil presence, which can be offset by a single piece of colored glass or minimalist pottery. It is worth placing it in natural daylight or under a discreet table lamp to bring out the softness of its decoration and the sheen of the glaze.
