Set of 4 Italian Ice Cream Cone Dessert Cups, c. 1980s

Playful set of four ceramic dessert cups crafted in Italy and designed in the shape of classic waffle ice cream cones. Featuring a beautifully textured cone pattern with a warm biscuit-toned glaze and contrasting cream-coloured interior, these sculptural pieces blur the line between tableware and decorative object. Originally intended for serving ice cream, sorbet or desserts, they also make striking decorative accents in a contemporary or postmodern interior. Their whimsical silhouette and trompe-l’œil design capture the joyful spirit of Italian tableware from the late twentieth century. All pieces are marked Made in Italy and remain in a good vintage condition.
