This anonymous ceramic sugar bin, dating back to the 20th century, is a charming example of everyday design. Its vibrant yellow and white checkered pattern adds a touch of whimsy to the simple, functional form. The inscription "SUGAR" in a bold, stylized font reinforces its purpose. Currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, this small, but striking piece offers a glimpse into the decorative aesthetic of the early 20th century.
