Aperitivo bowls have been a staple of Italian pop culture for decades. Traditionally, they were filled with salty crisps or chips and served at your bar table alongside a glass of wine. These bowls came in various materials, shapes, and colors, but I have to highlight that this particular piece is the most refined and beautiful I have ever seen.
Hand-crafted and hand-painted using the exquisite "crayon drawing technique," this rare piece features the hand-written word "Salatini," which translates to "savory bites" in English. The body showcases a warm ivory hue adorned with cheerful orange and pink curly lines, while the handle is made entirely of bamboo—an exquisite detail!
The bowl is numbered on the bottom and remains in excellent condition, with only a tiny chip underneath the lady’s shoes, which is barely noticeable.
Perfect for serving small sandwiches, peanuts, or other aperitif treats to surprise your guests. Alternatively, why not use it in your entryway to hold your keys or as a stylish jewelry dish?
Other matching ceramic pieces are available in the shop, allowing you to create the perfect Italian look on your table.
A splendid and rare collectible piece of Italian culture, ready to become the eye-catching centerpiece of your special space!
