A small coffee service with a striking architectural silhouette. Made by Italian silverware house Calegaro, the three matching pieces pair polished cylindrical bodies with crisp angular handles, slender spouts, and polished ball finials. Their compact proportions make the set especially appealing for espresso service, an intimate breakfast table, or a beautifully styled bar.
The set includes a lidded coffee pot, lidded creamer, and lidded sugar server. Each piece bears a Calegaro mark; the underside markings identify the finish as silver-plated. The clean geometry has a midcentury modern character.

About Calegaro
Founded in Padua in 1921, Calegaro became known for Italian silverware and table objects that bring skilled metalworking to both classic and contemporary forms. This set’s restrained lines and playful angular handles give that tradition a distinctly modern expression.
Ways to use it
Serve espresso or after-dinner coffee for a small gathering. On a drinks cart, use the coffee pot for cocktail mixers, the creamer for syrup, and the sugar server for garnishes. The three pieces also make a sculptural grouping on open shelving or a dining-room sideboard. For an especially personal luxury gift, pair the set with beautiful coffee beans and a pair of vintage demitasse cups.
