Sugar Bowl
c. 1930
Most people know Joseph Sudek as the 'Poet of Prague' for his moody photographs, but here we see a completely different side of him—a delicate design sketch for a sugar bowl from around 1930. The drawing outlines a classic white ceramic vessel featuring elegant gold trim along the rim and handles, with a charming blue landscape scene sketched on the front. Below the main sketch, you can see a detailed study of the handle and a manufacturer's stamp for 'Bridgwood and Neison,' hinting at the industrial collaboration behind this elegant piece of modernist design.
