AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An exquisite piece of Italian silverware from the twentieth century. This rare pouring pitcher perfectly embodies the elegance of modernist design, standing out for its fluid, aerodynamic silhouette that elevates it from a functional object to a refined furnishing piece.

Subject and Style:
The elongated minimalist droplet line culminates in a flared spout, harmoniously balanced by a slender arched handle that provides visual dynamism. A delicate cordon decorates the base, adding a classical detail to an avant-garde form. On the bottom is stamped the mark "800", guaranteeing the precious metal content.

Technical Details and Conditions:

Type: Pouring pitcher / sculptural jug
Materials: Solid 800 silver (stamped)
Era: Vintage 1960s
Dimensions: 17 x 8 x 30 h cm
Weight: 315 g
Condition: Generally good condition. The silver retains its natural luster. As shown in the photo, there is a small side dent due to normal use; the object remains solid and scenographic, and the defect is easily repairable.
