faccioli - Oil vessel (3) - .800 silver

Fascinating and elegant antique oil cruet, a precious artifact of refined Italian silverware signed by the well-known silversmith Faccioli of Milan. The piece consists of a solid, finely worked support structure in 800 silver (with the related antique hallmarks of the silversmith), enhanced by two elegant blown-glass bottles/flasks in a deep cobalt blue. The stark chromatic contrast between the bright silver and the depth of cobalt blue gives this piece great elegance and a commanding presence on the table. A striking decorative and table accessory, ideal for collectors of antique silverware and Milanese craftsmanship pieces.
