Hand-Painted Porcelain Sugar Bowl with Lid, c. Early 20th Century
About the Item
What makes this piece unique is its remarkable combination of ornate form and delicate hand-painted florals — a true testament to early 20th-century European porcelain craftsmanship. With its graceful curves, elevated pedestal base, and looping scrolled handles, it feels more like a piece of sculpture than serveware.
Its charm lies in the details: the hand-painted floral garlands in rich, romantic hues of pink, blue, and orange; the gently scalloped rim lined with gilt detailing; and the soft ivory glaze that gives it a warm, time-worn elegance. This sugar bowl doesn’t just hold sugar — it holds history.
Likely originating from a fine English porcelain house, this piece hails from a period when artistry and everyday utility went hand in hand. The style is Rococo Revival — opulent, yet delicate — and it would have graced a well-appointed tea table with pride.
Made of high-quality porcelain, it’s both lightweight and durable, with hand-applied decoration and gilt accents still beautifully intact. The design speaks to a time when even the smallest rituals, like sweetening your tea, were celebrated with beauty and ceremony.
Whether you're a collector of antique tableware or looking for a statement piece to elevate a modern shelf or vignette, this sugar bowl is worth every penny for its craftsmanship, rarity, and timeless appeal.
