ABOUT PRODUCTID 11645
This early 20th-century Viennese Secession sugar bowl is crafted from silver-plated brass, highlighting the geometric clarity characteristic of its era. The body features a wide, shallow form with a smooth, highly reflective surface in a cool, silvery tone. Around the upper rim runs a rhythmic relief of rectangles filled with horizontal grooves interspersed with raised circles, creating an architectural decorative frieze. The single, arching handle, attached with visible rivets, echoes the bowl’s metallic sheen. Subtle golden undertones appear within the frieze, possibly from the brass beneath or intentional accenting. The construction is solid and precise, with harmonious proportions and no visible repairs or damage. The sugar bowl remains in very good condition, showing only minor surface scratches and a gentle patina indicative of its age.This sugar bowl embodies the aspirations of early modern Central Europe, at a time when Viennese Secession sought beauty in everyday utility. The repeating relief along the rim suggests the ordered pulse of a city in transformation, while the silvery surface reflects interior light like a memory of bright Viennese salons and ceremonial tea gatherings. The object quietly narrates a period where art and function merged in the rituals of daily life.The sugar bowl can be placed on a classic Biedermeier table, or combined with simple early 20th-century porcelain or contemporary ceramics to highlight contrasts of form. It serves as a discreet accent in Art Nouveau-inspired or eclectic collector’s interiors. Positioned on a living room console, on a tray with other silver-plated pieces, or used as a decorative container for small objects, it brings a measured rhythm and a sense of historical context to any arrangement.
