Large Italian Pewter Sculptural Decanter Vase, c. 1970s

Large Italian Pewter Sculptural Decanter Vase, c. 1970s

€185,00 EUR
Product Information

A large Italian sculptural vessel dating approximately to the 1970s. Its open spout and sweeping handle suggest an original decanter or pouring-vessel form, while today it works naturally as a vase or standalone sculptural object. The underside identifies it as 95% pewter, marked Peltro Puro ('pure pewter'), and confirms that it was made in Italy.

The piece has real centrepiece scale and a strong sense of weight. A broad angular lower body rises into a long tapered neck, with the curved handle completing an architectural silhouette that changes noticeably from different viewpoints.

Care Guide

Dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive metal polish and harsh cleaners. Pewter develops a soft grey surface with age and should not be polished to a high shine.
