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 manufactory Zaramella Argenti (Padua). The object stands out for the extraordinary quality of materials and for the meticulous handcrafted work: The Bowl: In fine lead crystal of high thickness, finely faceted with geometric and star motifs that create a splendid refraction of light. The upper edge presents a refined serrated finish. At the center of the bowl there is a beautiful decorative rosette in silver that firmly fixes the body to the base. The Base: A solid circular pedestal in solid 800 silver (not filled), embellished at the rim with a classic motif of chased leaves. On the base are clearly stamped the official marks of the Italian State that certify 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 post-1968). The factory logo of the manufactory (Z inscribed in a diamond). The silver fineness mark (800 inside an oval). A piece of furniture with great charm and solidity, ideal to embellish formal tables or as an exclusive collectible item.
