A Gilt Sterling Silver lidded Pumpkin Tureen Nardi Venezia, Italy

About the Item

This is a beautiful sculpted and chased pumpkin tureen by Italian jeweler Nardi Venezia. A rare piece for Nardi, the pumpkin is fashioned in sterling silver and has been finished in a soft gold gilt finish. A textured stem acts as the handle of the lid, once lifted a crystal bowl is revealed inside. This would be a wonderful addition to a beautiful table setting! The piece is signed "Nardi/Venezia", "925 Italy". From Culture of Pearls: "Located in the heart of the city, Nardi Jewellery occupies five arches at a corner of the Venice’s most important landmark, the historic St. Mark’s Square. This location has not changed since 1926 when this Venetian jewellery Maison was first established by Giulio Nardi, an artist, craftsman, and entrepreneur, who was Florentine by birth but undeniably Venetian at heart."
