Description from the seller
A refined vintage service or bar set in solid silver, composed of 4 finely wrought pieces. This set represents an excellent slice of Italian silversmithing history in the 20th century, uniting the historic Padovan artisanal school with the Florentine one in an eclectic family heirloom with a strong classical taste. The circular tray bears at the center an elegant period engraving with the monogram initials "C.M." rendered in a classic typeface. Set Composition and Hallmarks: The service has been analyzed in detail and presents the following official State marks: Circular tray "Gallery Tray": Made in solid silver with the typical finely pierced raised edge. Stamped on the bottom with the 800 fineness and the Italian factory mark of the mid-20th century. Mug with handle: In classic Sheffield style, stamped on the outer rim with the 800 fineness and the historic lozenge "16 PD" (Padua Manifattura, 1934-1968), completed by figurative marks of the silversmith. Beaker: With clean, simple lines, stamped on the bottom with the 800 fineness (Padovan school). Bombata (Sugar bowl/Spice holder): Elegant element added later to the set, made in the finest 925 sterling silver (fineness impressed on the bottom) with a star stamp "1428 FI" (Florence Manifattura, post-1968). Technical Specifications: Material: Solid silver (3 pieces 800 fineness, 1 piece 925 fineness) Total weight: 111 grams (verified on a precision digital scale) Condition: Generally very good. Structurally intact, no dents or deformations. Exhibits a natural and widespread patina of aging on the surface (particularly on the sugar bowl), easily removable with a light mirror-like polish at the buyer’s discretion.
