Gio Ponti silver-plated teapot

A modest elegance marks this Gio Ponti teapot. Defined by a geometric handle and lipped spout, this design was for the Hotel Kursaal Rimini, produced with manufacturer Krupp Milano.

The teapot is in good condition, with light surface scuffs and wear relative to its age. A smaller matching coffee pot is also available.

Gio 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.
