Hermann Ohme | Nouveau-Deco | Sugar Bowl c.1890

This listing is for a sugar bowl which accompanies the amazing Ohme coffee cups in another listing, with characteristic Nouveau relief and artful flowing floral lines. The stamp dates these cups to the era between 1882 and 1900; my oldest Ohme yet.

You can find the listing for the matching cups and hot water jug below. The set originally came with a coffee pot too, however the lid is sadly broken-if you're interested in this piece, please get in touch.

Hermann Ohme factory was located in Niedersalzbrunn, Silesia, Germany now the town of Walbrzych in Western Poland. Sadly this factory went out of business in 1928. Why? Not because its products weren't valued, but because in 1930, the world financial crisis occurred and Ohme, who'd exclusively focused on exports, got caught in the downward spiral. However, that also means there's a little bit of mystique around Ohme porcelain...no one is quite certain how many patterns were produced, which means there is always the potential for exciting new discoveries around the corner.
