AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique Teapot and Creamer in 800 Silver - Italy, Period 1934-1944 (Diamond-shaped Mark)
Auction of an elegant vintage service set consisting of a teapot and a coordinated creamer, made in solid silver with fineness 800.
The pieces feature classic, sinuous lines, enriched by refined decorative details: the teapot lid is topped with an elegant knob finely worked in the shape of a pine cone, while the edges sport a twisted motif (cordonatura) well finished.
The handles, with fluted shapes, give the set a bold character and a strong visual impact.
Under the base of both pieces are clearly stamped the original marks of the era: the purity mark for silver 800 inside an oval.
The rare fascist factory mark in the form of a cut lozenge (period 1934-1944), which attests to the authenticity and historical dating of the piece (Kingdom of Italy).
