All the elegance of interwar tables is found in this charming sugar bowl, a piece as decorative as it is refined, characteristic of the Art Deco years. The gilt metal mount features a particularly successful design. Stylized roses punctuate a succession of stepped geometric lines, in that very characteristic style of the years , where the floral repertoire inherited from the turn of the century transformed to become more graphic, more orderly, almost architectural. The movable polygonal handle further accentuates this modernity. Its highly structured design echoes the mount's decoration and contrasts beautifully with the roundness of the container. The inner molded glass cup plays wonderfully with light. Its radiating base and regular ribs create a succession of reflections that blend with the warm tones of the gilded metal. The set also retains its perforated sifting spoon, delicately crafted and adorned on its handle. Its presence gives full meaning to the object and restores the refinement of an era when even sugar was presented with elegance. Some traces and variations in patina naturally bear witness to its age and preserve all the charm of an object that has passed through nearly a century. Diameter approximately 11 cm. Height with handle raised approximately 15-16 cm. France, circa 1930.
