Pratinho de bolo
c. 1936
Most people know Joseph Sudek for his moody, black-and-white photos of Prague, but here he plays the role of a delicate decorator. This design sketch features a large oval platter and a smaller saucer, both edged with a sweet, continuous garland of pink roses. A blue heraldic crest floats at the top, adding a touch of official elegance to the floral whimsy. It’s a charming glimpse into the commercial design world of the 1930s, proving that even the 'Poet of Prague' had an eye for a pretty tea party setting.
