ABOUT PRODUCTID 16543
This early 20th-century French sugar bowl is crafted from hand-cut, vertically faceted crystal glass with an elongated, balanced oval profile. The glass is entirely clear and highly polished, emphasizing the multifaceted geometry and remarkable light reflection along its surfaces. The domed brass lid, featuring a warm, antique gold hue, displays a subtle satin finish with touches of natural patina, while a finely engraved decorative band encircles the rim. The perforated top and seamless join between metal and glass exemplify the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of French craftsmanship from the early 1900s. The piece remains in excellent collector’s condition—free from chips, cracks, or visible wear to the crystal; the brass elements retain their authentic appearance, showing only minimal, age-appropriate oxidation. This object evokes the spirit of the Belle Époque—a period when everyday life in France was gently adorned by thoughtful tableware. The transparent crystal catches the light, echoing the restrained elegance of the early 20th century where artistry presented itself not in lavish ornament, but in the harmony of materials and balance of form. The brass lid and engraving whisper of bygone family gatherings and refined salons, when a sugar bowl was part of the ritual and theater of afternoon tea. The sugar bowl finds its best expression on a dining table or sideboard in a traditional setting that favors collectible porcelain or early 20th-century table glass. It may be paired with gilded teacups and crisp white linen to highlight its geometric structure atop a dark wood or marble surface. For more contemporary interiors, one might combine it with minimalistic tableware of clean lines, allowing it to serve as a subtle accent that links past and present.
