Salt and pepper shakers - Silver - Solid 800 silver

Elegant Italian sauce-boat in solid 800 silver, made by a Vicentine manufactory identified by the stamp “266 VI,” attributable to the mid-20th century.
The piece stands out for its refined, slender, harmonious silhouette, characterized by an aesthetic balance of modernist taste with Art Deco references. The boat-shaped body, the pronounced pour lip, and the sinuous handle give the whole a presence that is extremely elegant and sculptural.
Particularly interesting is the contrast between the exterior surface, mirror-polished, and the delicate hand-hammered finish on the interior, a detail that adds depth and artisanal quality to the object. The feet decorated with a shell motif add a refined classical touch, perfectly balanced by the clean lines of the modernist design.
