An object that perfectly embodies Gio Ponti’s vision, where function and form merge into an essential and refined gesture.
This flower vase for Christofle, produced in the 1950s, stands out for its pure spherical geometry and perforated lid, designed to guide and structure floral arrangements, turning them into a composed and decorative element. The design is both simple and ingenious, elevating an everyday object into a sculptural presence.
The metal surface, now marked by the loss of its outer silver plating, reveals a time-worn patina that enhances its character and authenticity, in dialogue with Ponti’s modernist language.
Condition: Good structural condition, with loss of external silver plating.
Dimensions: Diameter 12 cm – Height 12 cm
