Italian Silver-Plate Bar Set by Ambrogio Pozzi for Padova Argenti, 1970s

$2,900.00

An Italian silver-plate bar set designed by Ambrogio Pozzi for Padova Argenti in the 1970s, comprising two cylindrical pitchers in graduated sizes and a wide ice bucket.

Pozzi grew up in his family’s ceramics workshop and went on to design everything from tableware for Rosenthal to an onboard service for Alitalia. In this bar set, that lifelong interest in everyday rituals becomes something you can see and feel: a cylinder folds into a pouring spout, while paired bands become handles.

The ice bucket carries the same language, with a substantial double-band swing handle and a softly rounded base. Broad, uninterrupted silver-plated surfaces give all three pieces a polished, reflective finish.

Signed by both Pozzi and Padova Argenti, the three pieces bring a notable Italian designer’s vision to the simple pleasure of serving a drink.
