AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare vase in 800 silver - Luigi Genazzi Manufacture (Milan) - Period 1934–1944, in solid silver fineness 800, by the prestigious Milanese silversmith Luigi Genazzi. The piece represents an excellent testament to Italian craftsmanship of the first half of the 20th century.
Details of the Punches (Guarantee Marks):
• Fineness: 800 (guarantees the authenticity of the silver).
• Factory mark: a diamond-shaped punch with the number 7 and the symbol of the Fasces. This mark uniquely identifies Luigi Genazzi's production in Milan and allows precise dating between 1934 and 1944.
Historic figurative logo in the shape of a castle (symbol of the Genazzi family)
The vase features a worked body and rests on four finely chiselled feet. The piece displays an authentic patina that attests to its age and artisanal craftsmanship.
Weight: 621 grams.
Dimensions: Length 29 cm.
Top width: 10 cm
Distinctive mark of the Genazzi workshop
Serial/model number "7" engraved on the bottom.
Condition
The vase is in excellent structural condition, including the four feet. The surface shows natural oxidation due to time that testifies to its age; it can be preserved for an “antique” look or easily polished to bring the silver back to its original brilliance.
