This is the "Maya" bowl, an iconic design by Giulio Confalonieri for the Italian manufacturer Alessi. The piece is crafted from high-quality stainless steel and embodies the postmodern aesthetic of the 1990s. The design is characterized by its architectural, stepped silhouette, reminiscent of ancient Mayan pyramids, making the bowl both functional and sculptural. Manufactured in Italy, the bowl is made of polished 18/10 stainless steel, known for its durability and lasting shine. The construction consists of a series of concentric rings that widen upwards, creating a dynamic interplay of light and reflection. This geometric precision is a hallmark of Confalonieri's work and Alessi's production standards. The bottom is marked with "Alessi Italia INOX 18/10" and the designer's signature. The overall condition of the bowl is very good, retaining its original high-gloss finish. The object shows character and a patina consistent with careful use and age, which contributes to its authenticity. The structural integrity is fully intact, without dents or deformations. As a striking object, the "Maya" bowl fits perfectly as a centerpiece on a dining table, sideboard, or in a display cabinet. Its sleek, metallic design complements various interior styles, from minimalist and modern to eclectic and Art Deco-inspired, functioning equally well as a fruit bowl or as an autonomous decorative piece.
