A striking graduated pair of silver-plated Calderoni bowls from Italy, dating to the 1950s. Their softly squared forms sweep outward at the corners, while diamond-shaped piercings give the design its graphic Art Deco character. Displayed together, the two sizes create a sculptural arrangement for a dining table, bar, or console.

The larger bowl is an elegant centerpiece; the smaller makes a beautiful companion. This pair would be a distinctive gift for a design lover, a generous host, or a couple creating a memorable home together.

History of the maker

Calderoni is a Milanese name associated with silver and silver-plated tableware. These bowls bring a decorative, architectural quality to a practical serving form, with sweeping corners and precisely arranged diamond-shaped piercings.

Ways to use them

Serve pastries, fruit, wrapped sweets, or cocktail snacks; arrange the pair with holiday ornaments down the center of a table; or place one on a bar for cocktail napkins. They also work as sculptural catchalls for small accessories or as an eye-catching pair on a bookshelf. We imagine them on a bistro table holding breakfast pastries tucked into a white napkin alongside a silver carafe of coffee and pitcher of freshly squeezed juice.
