Gio Ponti set of two silver plated bowls

A set of two silver-plated bowls with lipped saucers, with a modest elegance typical of their designer Gio Ponti. They were produced with manufacturer Krupp Milano.

Ponti (1881-1979) was a Milanese architect, industrial and furniture designer, artist and publisher. He was a pivotal figure in the Italian design and manufacturing industry, founding Il Labirinto with Lancia, Buzzi, Marelli, Venini and Chiesa in order to produce high-quality furniture and objects. He also founded Domus magazine which helped contextualise and promote the work of Italian designers and manufacturers around the world. His work draws deeply on Italian traditions but always finds a modern edge.

In good vintage condition, with some small scratches in line with age.
