This silver-plated brass sugar bowl was produced by Berndorf in Germany during the 1920s. The piece exemplifies the transitional design language of the era, combining classical motifs with early modernist forms. Constructed from brass with a silver-plated finish, the bowl features a clear glass insert. The metal framework is detailed with pierced geometric patterns and a central floral garland motif in relief. The piece includes a fixed, arched handle, characteristic of traditional serving ware from this period. The bowl remains in good condition, retaining its original glass insert. The silver plating shows significant patina and wear, revealing the underlying brass and adding historical character to the piece. This sugar bowl serves as a distinctive tabletop accessory. Its aged finish and classical detailing make it a fitting addition to traditional dining settings or as a decorative object within a curated collection of early twentieth-century metalwork.
