AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and imposing large centerpiece / vintage fruit bowl, made in the second half of the 20th century by the prestigious Italian silversmithing firm Zaramella Argenti (Padua). The piece stands out for the extraordinary quality of materials and the careful artisanal workmanship:
The Bowl: Made of premium, high-thickness lead crystal, finely frosted with geometric and star motifs that create a splendid refraction of light. The upper rim features refined serrated edge work. At the center of the bowl is a beautiful decorative Rosette in silver that firmly fixes the body to the base.
The Base: A solid circular stand in massive 800 silver (not filled), enriched at the edge by a classical motif of repoussé leaves. On the base are clearly pressed the official stamps of the Italian State certifying the piece’s authenticity:
- The producer’s identifying mark ★ 30 PD, attributing the work to the master silversmiths Bruno and Cesare Zaramella of Padua (active with this hallmark after 1968).
- The factory logo of the manufactory (Z inscribed in a diamond).
- The title of the silver (800 inside an oval).
A piece of furniture with great charm and solidity, ideal for adorning formal tables or as an exclusive collectible item.
