AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful glass and brass pitcher, probably produced in that style and quality by Galbiati Milano.
Born in the heart of Milan, Galbiati has always breathed the spirit that makes the city the capital of fashion and design. Culture and the care of tableware have guided the company since its founding in 1908. Born as silverware, over the years it has always maintained a link and special attention to high-quality accessories and tableware, while focusing its research on glassmaking and glass design.
Galbiati Milano is indeed recognized for the creative combination of decors and colors of the glasses and for the refinement and elegance of the mark, as a distinctive element.
Each glass piece from Galbiati Milano is unique, an unrepeatable work of art resulting from the artisanal work of the master glassmakers we rely on.
A few skilled gestures, a measured breath and only a few moments to give form to the ideas of our designers. Small imperfections and differences become distinctive traits.
The pitcher offered at auction has a body in blue opaque glass and a brass handle molded in the shape of a sea serpent.
Good overall condition, without a stopper.
Rare object!
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
