Bowl - Silver - Pair of Bowls

Splendid and rare set composed of two hand-hammered in true 800 solid silver bowls, entirely handmade and signed by the Italian silversmith Galvan. The pieces date exactly to 1971 and are a perfect example of brutalist and organic design from the Italian Space Age era. Each bowl was shaped starting from a single sheet of silver: the magnificent hammered texture ("planished") unfolds concentrically from the smooth base toward the edges, creating spectacular plays of light and reflections on the surface. UNIQUE FEATURES OF THIS SET: Nesting (interlocking) set: The two bowls have slightly tapered dimensions and were designed to fit perfectly one inside the other, offering a magnificent aesthetic when displayed side by side or stacked. Progressive Handcrafted Numbering: On the bottom of each piece, in addition to the silversmith’s mark and the metal title, the original workshop numbering is hand-scratched, attesting to its contemporaneity and authenticity: one bears the code 63 - 800 and the other 65 - 800. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Material: Solid 800 silver (guaranteed by the original hallmarks visible in the photos). Total weight of the set: 179 grams (actual weight verified on a digital scale). Large Bowl Dimensions: Diameter about 20 cm | Height about 7.5 cm. Small Bowl Dimensions: Diameter about 19 cm | Height about 7 cm. Condition: Excellent vintage condition, splendid period patina. No deep blemish or structural defect. The rim is intentionally irregular and cut edge as per the original designer’s concept. Perfect as a modern antique centerpiece, luxury desk tray for the entrance, or as an investment in Italian art silverware of the twentieth century."}
