Art Deco sugar bowl, silver-plated brass, crystal, Poland, 1930s

Art Deco style sugar bowl from the 1930s, attributed to the Hennevberg Brothers, made of silver-plated brass and clear crystal. The geometric, flared base and architectural silhouette mark its belonging to the Art Deco movement. The smooth, clear crystal insert is set in a massive metal frame, topped with a simple arched handle of silver-plated brass. The body is decorated with a band of repetitive, geometric motifs typical of the 1930s. The dominant cool, silvery tone has a matte finish with a slight satin sheen and natural patina. The sugar bowl is in good condition, with minor scratches, point discolorations, and subtle signs of use, without major damage. The form of this sugar bowl draws from the language of the era, where clarity of lines and the rhythm of geometric decorations expressed the optimism of modernism. The metal frame reflects light in a subdued, soft way, and the sculpted decorative band recalls the table of the 1930s, where balanced elegance was everyday. The perfectly fitted crystal insert speaks of the precision of craftsmanship and the pursuit of harmony between function and decoration. The sugar bowl can be used in both classic table arrangements and combined with modern porcelain or minimalist accessories. It works well on a dining room console or coffee table, where its geometric form will emphasize the rhythm of other Art Deco or mid-century items. It is worth combining it with polished silver, glass, or black ceramic dishes, creating a balanced, collectible accent in the living or dining space.
