Bowl - Silver - Pair of Bowls

Splendid and rare set consisting of two artisan bowls in solid 800 silver, entirely handmade and signed by the Italian silversmith Galvan. The pieces date exactly to 1971 and are a perfect example of Brutalist and organic design from the Italian Space Age era. Each bowl was shaped from a single sheet of silver: the magnificent hammered texture ("planished") develops concentrically from the smooth base toward the edges, creating spectacular plays of light and reflections on the surface.

UNIQUE FEATURES OF THIS SET:
Set "Nesting" (interlocking): The two bowls have slightly tapering dimensions and were designed to fit perfectly one inside the other, offering a magnificent aesthetic when displayed side by side or stacked.

Progressive Hand-Engraved Serial Numbers: On the bottom of each piece, in addition to the silversmith’s mark and the metal title, the workshop’s original numbering is hand-etched to attest to its contemporaneity and authenticity: one bears the code 63 - 800 and the other the code 65 - 800.
