ARTISTIC DESCRIPTION

A superb piece of Italian silverware from the mid-20th century, entirely crafted with traditional hand repoussé and chasing techniques. The body of the vase is richly decorated in high relief with naturalistic motifs of oak leaves and acorns, symbols of strength and solidity. The handles, finely chased, feature cluster decorations that confer elegance and dynamism to the structure.
