Kahla Porcelain, Sugar Bowl with Lid
Germany,
mid–20th century
Glazed porcelain
A minimalist sugar bowl with lid, produced by Kahla Porzellan, one of Germany’s historic porcelain manufacturers founded in Thuringia in 1844.The bowl is crafted in white glazed porcelain with a smooth, rounded form and matching domed lid. Its simple elegance is accentuated by fine hand-applied red line decoration encircling both the lid and the bowl rim. The restrained design highlights Kahla’s modernist approach, combining functional clarity with subtle decorative detail.
Kahla became known in the 20th century for producing functional yet stylish porcelain tableware, often with minimalist decoration suited for both domestic and professional use. This sugar bowl reflects the Bauhaus-inspired tradition of simplicity and utility that influenced much of German tableware design in the mid-century period.
