AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
refined service or vintage bar set in solid silver, consisting of 4 finely worked pieces. This set represents an excellent snapshot of 20th-century Italian silverware history, uniting the historic Padovan artisan school with the Florentine one in an eclectic family ensemble with a strong classical taste. The circular tray bears at its center an elegant antique engraving with the monogram initials "C.M." rendered in a classic typeface. Set Composition and Punches: The set has been examined in detail and features the following official State marks:
Circular Tray "Gallery Tray": Made of solid silver with the typical raised edge finely pierced. Punch-marked on the bottom with the 800 fineness and the Italian maker's mark from the mid-20th century.
Mug with handle: In the classic Sheffield style, punch-marked on the outer rim with the 800 fineness and the historic lozenge "16 PD" (Padua Manufacture, 1934-1968 period), completed by the silversmith's figurative marks.
Beaker: With clean, minimalist lines, punch-marked on the bottom with the 800 fineness (Padovan school).
Bulbous bowl (Sugar bowl/Condiment dish): Elegant element added later to the set, made in the finest 925 sterling silver (fineness stamped on the bottom) with the star-shaped punch "1428 FI" (Florentine Manufacture, post-1968).
Technical Specifications:
Material: Solid silver (3 pieces 800 fineness, 1 piece 925)
Total weight: 111 grams (measured on a precision digital scale)
Conditions: Generally very good condition. Structurally integral, without dents or deformations. Displays a natural and widespread patina of oxidation from time on the surface (particularly on the sugar bowl), easily removable with a light mirror polish at the buyer's discretion.
