DescriptionThis sugar bowl has a hexagonal base which widens towards the top before narrowing again to form the top opening. There are two angular handles on either side, which are rimmed in gold on the outside. The rim of the opening is also lined in gold. On two sides of the bowl is a colorful image of two birds inside an ornate heart. The birds are green and brown, sitting on a branch with pink flowers. The heart around them is dotted in blue flowers and lined in gold, curving decorations extend outwards from the heart and there is a large pink bow with pink ribbons on top. Blue flowers with green stems are at the ends of the decoration. The lid for the sugar bowl is also hexagonal, and has a tall pointed cone in the center as a handle. The edge and top are rimmed in gold, and the same image is printed on the lid as is on the bowl. The image appears to be on both sides of the lid.
