Silver sugar bowl with rose decoration, fineness 0.800, stamped and chased
Height 98 mm, width 15.5 cm x 13 cm, weight 333.9 g, Polish secondary hallmarks from Warsaw 1931–1963, and a pawnshop mark
A sugar bowl with an elongated, rounded body, rectangular in plan with gently rounded corners. The vessel rests on four short, S-shaped legs, ending in stylized claws and connected to the body by leaf-shaped caps. The domed lid, hinged at the rear edge, features a small, profiled tab on the front to facilitate opening.
The sides are decorated with relief bouquets of stylized roses, composed of open blossoms, buds, and leaves. The most elaborate composition occupies the central part of the lid: large flowers are surrounded by smaller rosettes, leafy twigs, and winding shoots. The smooth, convex petals contrast with the dotted and hatched texture of the recesses. The decoration was created from sheet metal using an embossing technique and then finished with chiseling. The design combines the Neo-Rococo tradition with naturalistic floral ornamentation.
On the reverse side are faded earlier hallmarks, likely from Germany prior to 1886; superimposed on them are later Polish hallmarks from 1931–1963 (Warsaw Assay Office), as well as the Polish pawnshop mark.
