Antique and large solid silver sugar bowl in Empire style from the first half of the 20th century

Large and splendid sugar bowl of Italian origin (cm.Ø16 h.24) handmade in 1940/1950 in solid silver with a purity of 800 by the Florentine silversmith Franco Pampaloni, a company founded by Ermindo Pampaloni in 1902. Removable bowl, also in silver (h. to the bowl cm.15), lid handle in the shape of a pine cone, and is supported by three legs with a curl finish (photo n°10) placed on a tripod base with a border decorated with classic Empire style palmettes, attached to the body by means of three delightful faces made by casting, made with the lost wax method (photo n°6). The sugar bowl has 3 hallmarks: the oval with the title 800, the silversmith's logo (the bust of a woman looking to the right) and, enclosed in a lozenge, the silversmith's number (n°176) and Fi, the province (Florence). Grams 680; excellent state of preservation.
