About the Item

A Sterling silver ‘Vulcano’ tea caddy spoon signed ‘Gianmaria Buccellati’ and made by Clementi Fabbrica Argenteria in Bologna, Italy, 20th century. This superb and highly collectible spoon is one from a collection of tea caddy spoons by Gianmaria Buccellati themed around Italian islands. This design is the ‘Vulcano’, a small volcanic island belonging to Italy in the Tyrrhenian Sea, about 20 km (12 mi) north of Sicily, at the southernmost end of the seven Aeolian Islands. The English word "volcano", and its equivalent in several European languages, comes from the name of this island, which derives from the Roman belief that the island was the chimney of Vulcan, the Roman god of fire. The design of the tea caddy spoon articulates this theme beautifully, with stylised flames erupting from the volcano-shaped handle and rippling across the bowl of the spoon. At the base of the handle it is signed ‘Gianmaria Buccellati’ and is hallmarked 925 for Sterling silver, as well as the maker’s mark ‘1 – BO’ for Clementi Fabbrica Argenteria, the oldest registered silversmith mark in Bologna. It comes in an original Buccellati-branded retail box containing the vendor’s label ‘Veschetti’ and the Buccellati leaflet. It is in excellent condition. Box size: 9cm x 7.7cm x 4cm
