Innovative silver objects feature heavily in the oeuvre of Gio Ponti, the polymath widely recognised as the ‘father’ of contemporary Italian design. This alpaca silver-plated coffee pot was created by Ponti in collaboration with Arthur Krupp Berndorf during the 1930s. The service was used in hotels, and was chosen for its dynamic shape and functional details. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
