Description
A compact wine cooler of restrained Art Deco design, accompanied by a pair of serving tongs. The vessel is defined by a clean, cylindrical body with a slightly flared rim, emphasising proportion and clarity of form rather than applied ornament. The tongs are slender and functional, consistent with the overall aesthetic of the ensemble.
The piece reflects early 20th-century Italian production, where simplified geometry and balanced volumes are central to the design language.
