Silver Plate Caviar Dish in the Shape of a Crab after Franco Lapini, c. 1970

About the Item

A silver-plated caviar dish in the shape of a crab, after the design of Franco Lapini and made by Almazan in Spain c. 1970. The crab is excellently modelled, with fine attention to detail in the legs and claws. The original inset glass bowl for the caviar is a rich sapphire blue, and is complemented by the original blue glass eyes of the crab. He has substantial weight and is a highly accomplished piece of sculpture. The hinge for the lid works perfectly and supports the lid firmly when open. Both the modelling and the silver plating are of excellent quality, and this crab is in superb condition throughout. He is very well behaved and makes a wonderful addition to any household.
