Refined Italian Cut Crystal & 800 Silver Pedestal Compote – Handcrafted with Multilingual Label

This exquisite pedestal compote / fruit bowl, acquired in Tuscany,  combines masterful hand-cut lead crystal with a solid 800/1000 silver (Italian standard 80% pure silver) footed base. The crystal bowl showcases deep, intricate geometric diamond and hobnail cuts, radiant floral/starburst motifs, and a graceful scalloped rim that catches light beautifully.

A standout feature is the prominent gold-foil label** affixed to the textured crystal underside:  Handarbeit F. Arbeit M. Fait à la main Created in Italy" 
(Translating roughly to "Handmade work F. Arbeit M. Handmade – Created in Italy")  

This multilingual inscription (German "Handarbeit", French "Fait à la main", and English/Italian) highlights its artisanal, handcrafted quality — typical of mid-to-late 20th-century premium Italian export pieces aimed at international markets. It suggests a boutique or workshop production (possibly "F. Arbeit M." as the artisan or brand initials), adding collectible appeal for lovers of European decorative arts.

Dimensions: 22 cm diameter × 16 cm height  

Weight: 1200 grams (heavy crystal with substantial silver base)  

Silver hallmarks (on base): 800 fineness, FI (Firenze/Florence province mark), plus additional maker/control stamps  

Origin: Crafted in Italy Florence-area workshop  

Condition: Very good vintage condition

Highly desirable for collectors of Italian silver-mounted glass, mid-century European decor, or fine tableware. Similar quality Italian crystal + silver compotes perform strongly in auctions.

A sophisticated, authentic Tuscan treasure ready to shine in any collection!

Shipping: Securely packaged with insurance
