Handcrafted in Arezzo during the 1940s to 1950s, it represents an earlier and more experimental phase of Italian silversmithing, where even everyday items were infused with artistic identity.

The elongated form and clean lines echo the Futurist fascination with speed and movement, while the engraved “SPORT” inscription and tennis racket motif reinforce its athletic theme. It’s not just decorative, it was made to be used, giving it an added layer of authenticity and purpose that many miniatures lack.

Signed and clearly hallmarked, this piece stands out as both a design object and a collectible tied to a specific artistic movement and historical period.
