AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An elegant mid-20th century Italian silver container, expertly crafted for use as a tea caddy or confectionery box, produced by the renowned Florentine silversmiths Pini Sernissi & C.

The box is made of solid 800/1000 sterling silver and features a clean, timeless design enhanced by refined proportions. The interior is gilded, a traditional and functional detail intended to protect tea leaves or sugar from oxidation, while also adding a discreet touch of luxury.

Resting on four spherical feet, the box presents a balanced and harmonious appearance, equally suitable for classic interiors, refined tableware collections, or as a decorative silver object.
