These pieces are a testament to his signature aesthetic, blending clean lines with innovative forms and contrasting materials. While these pots do not have visible markings to confirm they are genuine Sabattini pieces, they strongly resemble his work, particularly the "Fenice" collection from the 1980s. Each pot features a sleek, cylindrical body made of polished silver-plated metal, which reflects light beautifully and creates a sophisticated, modern look. The surface shows some patina and minor signs of age, consistent with vintage pieces. The interior, handle, and spout are crafted from a vibrant cobalt blue ceramic. This bold pop of color provides a stunning contrast to the silver metal, highlighting the pot's unique design. The lid is also a two-piece design, with an inner ceramic piece and an outer metal ring. Form: The design is sculptural and minimalist. The handle and spout are integrated into the body in a seamless, fluid manner, a hallmark of Sabattini's work. The cylindrical shape and the way the ceramic and metal are combined demonstrate a thoughtful and artistic approach to functional objects. Both pots are in good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. The silver plating has some minor scuffs and a natural patina. The ceramic is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. See less
