A polished silver plated vessel with a wonderfully theatrical lid: sculpted oak leaves sweep across its surface, punctuated by two acorns. Designed by Egidio Broggi of Milan, this piece brings a little Italian woodland drama to a bar cart, dining table, or carefully composed interior.

Its clean, rounded form balances the intricate botanical decoration. Beautiful from every angle, it makes a distinctive gift for a design lover, a stylish host, or a couple building a home together.

Available companion pieces from this oak leaf and acorn collection by Egidio Broggi include a large platter as well as a shorter lidded vessel. These pieces are sold separately.

Measurements
Approximately 6 in (15.2 cm) high with lid × 7.5 in (19.1 cm) in diameter.

Condition
The visible exterior remains shiny and beautiful, with no dents or plating loss. There is limited plating wear on the base and inside the container. Please see the photographs for details of its vintage condition.

History of the maker
The Broggi family’s Milan workshop began in 1818 and became known for its silverware and elegant table pieces. This Egidio Broggi design is part of a 20th-century decorative tradition featuring applied oak leaves and acorns.

Ways to use it
Use it as a covered bowl for wrapped sweets, cocktail napkins, or small entertaining essentials. On a desk or dressing table, it can hold keepsakes, watches, or a secret stash of treats. For an unexpected display, place it on a coffee table to hide remotes or alongside art books as a sculptural silver accent; the lid is striking displayed on its own.
