Bowl - Silver - Pair of Bowls

Splendid and rare set composed of two solid 800 silver bowls, 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 of the Italian Space Age era. Each bowl was shaped starting 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 graduated dimensions and were designed to fit perfectly one inside the other, offering a magnificent aesthetic when displayed side by side or stacked.

Progressive Artisan Numeration: On the bottom of each piece, in addition to the silversmith’s mark and the metal title, the original workshop number is hand-scratched to attest to its coevality and authenticity: one bears the code 63 - 800 and the other the code 65 - 800.
