Carlo Masini Firenze - Ewer - .800 silver - Ground Crystal H 28

Art Deco cut-crystal and 800 silver pitcher, Carlo Masini (Florence), H 28 cm.
Vintage pitcher for water, lemonade, or cocktails, made in Italy in the second half of the 20th century in full-on Art Deco Revival style. The body, an impressive 28 cm tall, is made of heavy crystal finely hand-cut with geometric diamond and star motifs that create beautiful plays of light. The upper mount, fitted with a hinged lid with a thumb lever and an elegant, elongated handle, is made of solid 800 silver. The legal hallmarks are clearly visible and legible on the neck of the mount: the 800 silver fineness mark and the maker’s mark “197F,” which attributes the piece to Carlo Masini’s historic and prestigious artistic silversmithing firm in Florence. The total weight is 2.145 kg. A highly striking collector’s piece, perfect for adding distinction to an elegant table. In good condition, with normal signs of age; no chips to the crystal, and a patina of age on the silver. Please refer to the photos for all details. The pitcher will be professionally packaged and shipped with a tracking number.
