Milan Metelak: Mid-Century Modern, Midnight Blue Crystal Bowl, Harrachov, 1960

Crystal bowl with silver and coral decorative elements Eliseo Mangili (1890-1977) Milan, circa 1940 It measures 4.8 in high x Ø 8.26 in; foot Ø 4.33 in (12.2 x Ø 21 cm; Ø foot 11 cm) 5.51 lb (2.55 kg) The rounded bowl narrows and rests on a flared foot with a polygonal section in blue crystal. The bowl itself is crafted in transparent crystal and continues the polygonal motif. The base of the bowl is decorated with a series of engraved blue arches which somewhat overlap creating a corolla and with five vertical cusps of the same colour.

The bowl features the following marks along the silver band which defines its narrowing towards the foot. These help us date the work: 1) a lozenge with the abbreviation of the province (MI); Roman fasces; the number 08. This was the mark in force after the promulgation of the law of 5 February 1934 n. 305, which provided for the use of a uniform mark for the identification of the silversmith and of the province. In this case it is the Milanese smith Eliseo Mangili during the period 1935-1944. 2) 800 without a border. Title in thousandths of silver. Eliseo Mangili was one of the most talented goldsmiths flanking Alfredo Ravasco...
