Palace sugar bowl Italian design 1960 silver-plated Broggi

The sensational Italian sprezzatura! But what beauty for such a simple object! A very heavy silver-plated palace sugar bowl, 1960, Italy. The notches for the sugar spoon, the espresso ristretti have just arrived, very dark and hot, and the maître d'hôtel has pushed this fabulous piece, a hinged oval, between the cups. A very strong ristretto, yes, but with sugar, two spoons. The Broggi manufacture, which has signed many pieces by Gio Ponti and great Italian design, also signs this one, which we suspect Gio might have been behind this piece of hospitality of such perfection. Length 22cm, height 8cm, widest 14cm. Some small traces of use—prego—immoderate! When you know, you know!.
