Set of 4 bowls by Gio Ponti for Fratelli Calderoni, 1950s

A refined set of four bowls designed by Gio Ponti for Fratelli Calderoni in the 1950s, an elegant example of the balance between domestic function and formal sophistication that made postwar Italian design internationally renowned. Crafted in silver-plated alpaca, these bowls stand out for their clean lines, gently flared profile and geometric side handles, details that give the set a sober yet distinctive presence. The well-balanced proportions and variety of sizes make them ideal both as a decorative table set and as individual pieces for different uses. The silvered surface, now marked by time, preserves all the authentic charm of age and material, enhancing the lived-in character of the pieces. The Fratelli Calderoni mark stamped on the underside confirms their production and adds further collectible appeal. A tasteful set capable of bringing the lightness and modernity of Gio Ponti’s design into everyday life. Condition: Fair overall condition, with signs of use, patina and losses to the silver plating.
