Macinapepe Musicale - Music box - 1950-1960

Vintage music pepper mill with a carillon, made in Italy with porcelain details in Capodimonte style and silvered metal finishes. The central porcelain body features bas-relief decorations depicting dancing putti or cherubs immersed in a landscape with a floral motif. Regarding the musical function, the carillon houses inside it a Swiss movement that plays a typical Mediterranean melody when the grinder is lifted from the top. Under the base it has the pepper exit hole that has just been ground and it has a wind-up knob for the carillon. It is a collectible item typical of Italian artisanal production from the 1950s. It is confirmed that the musical pepper mill carillon works and sounds perfectly.
