"Pierre Cardin – Milan Solid Silver Covered Jug – Circa 1970"
Elegant covered jug in solid silver, with a curved body forming a dynamic and taut line, characteristic of the sculptural taste of the 1970s. The silhouette, refined and geometric, evokes both the architectural rigor and futuristic volumes dear to Pierre Cardin. The wide angular handle and the tapered spout integrate into a continuous movement, without breaking the line. The whole, with a mirror polish, testifies to high-quality artisanal execution by the Milanese workshop of G. Silva, a silversmith renowned for his collaboration with great fashion and design creators.
This jug belongs to a limited series of table objects produced in the Italian workshops for Pierre Cardin, as part of his quest for a global design bringing together fashion, furniture and tableware.
