Beaded borders trace the foot, rim and lid, while a bold \u003cb\u003eGreek key or meander band\u003c\/b\u003e encircles the upper body, giving the piece a distinctly Neoclassical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe form itself is consistent with a \u003cb\u003ecovered sugar bowl or sugar urn\u003c\/b\u003e, a piece traditionally used as part of a tea or coffee service. Covered sugar vessels became especially decorative objects in their own right, frequently taking inspiration from classical urns and incorporating pedestal feet, paired handles and elaborate finials. Comparable English examples survive with two handles, pedestal bases and fitted covers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs a candle vessel, this one is particularly charming because it still reads as a miniature piece of formal silver. The Neoclassical details would also pair especially well with intaglios, antique engravings, old silver, Wedgwood and other classical pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Late 19th to early 20th century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Silver plate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: \u003c\/b\u003eExcellent antique condition with minor signs of age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44402473697367,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/3505\/3399\/files\/B50A97062.jpg?v=1791004082","url":"https:\/\/gladysavenue.com\/products\/greek-key-covered-sugar-urn","provider":"Gladys Avenue","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
