ABOUT PRODUCTID 19932
This sugar bowl is a vivid example of Polish postmodernism, reflecting the 'new look' movement of the 1970s. Crafted from pressed, clear glass with a subtle frosted texture and silver-plated brass, its construction is defined by six slender, evenly spaced prongs with geometric, pointed tips that support the glass bowl. Decorative vertical fluting and oval motifs in the glass create a play of light and shadow, while the two large, wide-arching handles give the piece a sculptural, airy quality. The simple, round, slightly flared metal foot ensures stability and introduces a modernist note. Visible rivets and precise joints attest to the high standard of craftsmanship. Presented in a cool, silvery tone, this piece merges practical function with avant-garde aesthetics characteristic of late 20th-century Polish applied arts. The condition is very good—there are minimal traces of patina on the metal, and the glass remains free from chips or cracks.The form of this sugar bowl tells the story of Polish design searching for freshness and bold geometry in the 1970s. Silver-plated brass and glass engage in a dialogue between modernity and artisanal skill. The transparent bowl, reminiscent of an ice sheet, diffuses light, while the metal arms cradle it with architectural precision—as if the object wished to claim its space between tradition and experiment. Every detail seems to speak of a time when Polish decorative arts dared to embrace graphic, dynamic, and unexpected forms.The sugar bowl could be paired with porcelain in simple, geometric shapes or with matte-finish tableware to highlight its postmodernist lineage. It would work well on a modern, light wood table or in a minimalist interior, where it serves as
