This piece epitomizes the excellence of postwar Italian metalwork, combining functional barware with decorative art.

The piece is crafted from cast metal with a precious silver-plated finish, featuring rich embossing to faithfully reproduce the organic texture of the pumpkin peel. The lid, perfectly integrated into the design, is topped with an elegant leaf-shaped knob, meticulously crafted down to the finest material detail.
