This sugar bowl from the 1960s, crafted from silver-plated brass, is a representative example of Polish mid-century modern utilitarian design. The softly rounded, cylindrical body is complemented by two symmetrical wire handles, each ending in a decorative spiral that introduces a subtle rhythmic detail. The slightly domed lid, crowned with a teardrop-shaped finial, is adorned with a delicate, engraved geometric border. Its primary color is matte silver with visible patina and localized wear, allowing warmer brass hues to emerge beneath the surface. The structure features visible soldered joints attaching the handles and stands on a slightly elevated, flat base. The surface displays numerous fine scratches, areas of tarnish, and discoloration typical for its age and use. The condition is good for its vintage: no significant dents or structural damage, while visible signs of aging and use affirm its authenticity and collectible appeal.This sugar bowl carries the quiet voice of the 1960s—a period when Polish interiors embraced lightness and functional simplicity. Its form narrates an era in which ornamentation took a back seat, present only in the coiled handles and restrained engraving. The subtle contrast between matte silver and the underlying brass acts as a chronicle of passing years: the vessel reveals traces of family gatherings, tea conversations, and small daily rituals gradually imprinted in the metal.The sugar bowl can be paired with other silver-plated tableware or porcelain featuring geometric patterns, together forming a cohesive mid-century modern table arrangement. It would suit placement on a wooden tray beside cups or within a display cabinet among vintage accessories. Combining it with neutral textiles and simple ceramics will help highlight its modernist line and emphasize the authenticity of its details.
