Silver Sculptural Bowl by Graziella Laffi, Signed, Peru, 1960s

This stunning sculptural sterling silver fish-shaped bowl was designed by the renowned artist graziella laffi in lima, peru, circa 1965. The piece, marked on the rim with "g. Laffi, peru 925", is a modern tribute to the ceremonial vessels of pre-columbian cultures, highlighting a design that blends the ancient and the contemporary. Its double-walled construction and hammered finish give it a robust yet elegant presence. Graziella laffi, born in florence in 1923 and inspired by her family's tradition, incorporated ancient peruvian techniques such as hammering and assembling, rejecting modern technology. Her work, which celebrates peruvian cultural heritage, has been exhibited in emblematic venues such as the brooklyn museum and the palazzo strozzi. Dimensions: 5 X 23 X 20 cm. Weight: 373g.
