This sugar bowl is always placed in the center of the table. The round shape with the two short handles and simple lid dates back to a time when sugar was no longer a luxury in Italian households and was therefore accessible to everyone. Previously, there had been containers with locks, for which only the housewife had the right keys and rationed the sweetener for the caffè. We obtain the small sugar bowl from Ilsa in Piedmont, the metalworking company that has been producing utensils for making coffee and other kitchen accessories for more than 70 years.
