Περιγραφή Catawiki – Ιταλικά

Elegant vintage crystal decanter with silver/argent-plated mount, Distillerie Buton – Bologna, founded in 1820, with G. Galletti silverwork – Milan.

A refined and highly decorative collectible object featuring a beautifully shaped body in clear, heavily cut crystal. The crystal is richly faceted with geometric and oval motifs, creating attractive reflections and a sophisticated appearance.

The upper section is fitted with an elaborate decorated silver/argent mount, featuring engraved floral scrolls and ornamental details. The most distinctive feature is the large fantastical dragon-shaped handle, finely modelled and decorated in relief, giving the piece an exceptional and unmistakable character.

The wide shaped spout is accompanied by its stopper with chain, while the lower section terminates in an elegant circular decorated pedestal base.

The underside bears important inscriptions and marks visible in the photographs, including:

“DISTILLERIE BUTON – BOLOGNA – ITALIA – CASA FONDATA NEL 1820”

and

“ARGENTERIE G. GALLETTI – MILANO.”

These markings make the piece particularly interesting from a historical and collecting perspective, connecting it with the Italian tradition of distillery production and decorative silverwork.
