Vintage Italian Silver-Plated "Pumpkin" Lidded Serving/Candy Dish

About the Item

Italian silver-plated snack/candy/serving dish with lidded top formed to resemble a pumpkin or squash (ca. 1930s/40s, Italy). This is a shorter, uninsulated version of fruit and vegetable-formed ice buckets made in Italy and France in the Mid-20th Century. Though shallow, with the addition of an insulated lining this piece can hold ice to stylishly refresh a drink or enhance any tabletop decor. Features a heavily textured, sculptural stem that serves as the handle for removing the top. Silver has been newly polished but retains its patina/shows wear (namely, scuffs and spots of tarnish, along with splitting to the edge from repetitive lid placement and removal, as shown). Branded with silver hallmark to inform date of creation (a raised hand, S and SP), though cypher is unrecognized as belonging to a specific year/manufacturer. Dimensions - Diameter: 5.75" x H: 4.75" (2" H with the top removed).
