Roberto Sambonet Chrome Centerpiece Serving Bowl Dish with Copper Fern
Located in Atlanta, GA
The Italian company Roberto Sambone manufactured this lovely chrome and copper centerpiece, serving dish, or bowl for their 1980s "Graffiti" collection. The shiny chromed metal square design has rounded corners and is decorated with copper and silver plate inlaid floral decor featuring fern branches. The piece is marked inside: "Sambonet - Italy."
The centerpiece is in good condition, with minor surface scratches due to regular use.
Measurements: 10.25 in wide (26 cm) x 10.25 in deep (26 cm) x 0.82 in high (2 cm).
Note: In 1856, after earning a Fine Arts diploma, Giuseppe Sambonet, son of a nobleman from Vercelli, got a Master Goldsmith license and established the company Giuseppe Sambonet, registering the seal bearing the initials "GS" with the mint in Turin. By the early 20th Century, his company was the Official Supplier to many noble families, including the Duchess of Genoa and the Count of Turin. In 1932, Sambonet was the first company in Italy to build an industrial manufacturing plant for sterling silver and galvanic silverware. In 1938, it developed an innovative process of producing stainless steel flatware and a silver-plated steel manufacturing technique. In 1947, it started manufacturing stainless steel knives and blades using its technology. In 1956, Sambonet conquered the international market and bit 53 competitors to supply the Hilton Hotel in Cairo with a hollowware line that remains in its collection today.
Today, Sambonet is represented in some of the best hotels and restaurants worldwide. Customers can find Sambonet flatware...

Wood-Fired Ceramic Vase by Paul Chaleff
By Paul Chaleff
Located in Atlanta, GA
A stoneware vase by Paul Chaleff (1947-) made in 1984. Chaleff is known for his wood fired ceramic vessel without glaze or sometimes natural ash glaze. The vase on offer is of a highly geometrical form with handcut multifaceted lower body that rises and morphs into a rounded upper body with two hand-molded ears above the shoulder. The surface shows nice firing color variations due to the iron oxidation in the kiln and also carved lines left intentionally by the artist. It is marked with the artist's incised signature and date 84. This piece has a very strong Japanese wabi-sabi appeal which is the aesthetic influence of the artist's work and makes a visually arresting center piece for any interior.
"Paul Chaleff is known for his large-scale wood fired ceramic sculptures and vessels. He also created a large body of wheel thrown functional vessels. His vessels are strongly influenced by Japanese pottery, especially the work of one of Japan’s National Living Treasures, Takeshi Nakazato. Chaleff was one of the first American potters using a Japanese style Anagama kiln and became a leader in the introduction of this form of wood-burning kiln.
In 1989, he began a regular collaboration with the British sculptor Sir Anthony Caro. Over a period of thirteen years, they created nearly 50 works, both figurative and abstract. Caro’s sculpture has had direct influence on Chaleff’s work as has the sculpture of Isamu Noguchi, and the ceramics of John Mason...
