This HEFRA sugar bowl from the 1970s exemplifies Polish postmodern tableware, combining silver-plated brass with faceted glass. The body features a cool, silvery tone with natural patina and a matte finish, adorned with deep, three-dimensional floral relief: roses and leaves encircle the metal surface, forming a decorative rhythm around the entire piece. The transparent glass insert, cut in a geometric starburst pattern, contrasts with the ornate metalwork, introducing clarity and light. The handle, a simple rounded arch made from matching silver-plated brass, completes the functional and aesthetic composition. Visible soldered joints and precise metal craftsmanship reflect traditional techniques. The condition is good – showing signs of patina and minor surface wear, without major damage.This sugar bowl echoes the spirit of 1970s Poland, when ornament and practicality met at the communal table. The metal casing, lush with roses and leaves, evokes the mood of special gatherings and ceremonial moments, while the clear, geometric glass speaks of a pursuit of transparency and originality. The piece quietly tells stories of a time when even everyday sugar was given a sense of occasion, and applied art allowed for a personal gesture.The sugar bowl can be paired with plain-profile porcelain or glassware from the same era to highlight its postmodern character. In a collector’s setting, it would work well alongside silver-plated trays, substantial goblets, or minimalist, contemporary accessories. It brings a distinctive accent to retro, eclectic, or classic interiors, where the play of light on silver and relief detail becomes a subtle table ornament.
