Object Description
Splendid and imposing design vase in solid 800 silver, produced by the historic and renowned Venetian workshop Alzetta & Bellettati. This piece represents an excellence of Italian silverware in the 20th century, merging Venetian artisan mastery with the biomorphic aesthetics of the Mid-Century Modern period.
