A striking vintage silver-plated presentation bowl by Sambonet, the celebrated Italian maker of fine tableware and serving pieces.
Measuring 10.375 inches in diameter and weighing a substantial 680 grams, the dish has a shallow central well surrounded by an exceptionally broad, gently curved rim. Its sculptural profile and highly reflective finish give it a distinctly Italian modern presence.
Originally intended for elegant restaurant or formal table service, it is well suited for serving risotto, pasta, composed appetizers or desserts. It could also be styled as a low centerpiece or decorative catchall.
The underside bears the visible stamped mark “Sambonet ★★★ TAY.” The piece is silver plated.
