Elegant Art Deco flatware, designed by Gio Ponti for Arthur Krupp and crafted in the 1950s by Krupp Berndorf in Austria. This exquisite cutlery is made from nickel-silvered Alpacca metal, characterized by its strict and geometric lines that elegantly evoke the Art Deco style prominent during Ponti's era. The collection includes six place settings, each consisting of a dinner spoon, fork, knife (plus one extra knife), a dessert spoon, and a coffee or teaspoon, totaling 31 pieces. The set is in good condition, featuring a charming patina. Notably, the smallest spoons appear to be unused. All pieces are marked. We would like to emphasize that in our other listing, we also offer a small Gio Ponti teapot with a milk jug, sugar tongs, and a ladle. Measurements: Knife: 10 inches / 25.5 cm Fork: 8.25 inches / 21 cm Large spoon: 8.25 inches / 21 cm Dessert spoon: 6 inches / 15 cm Coffee/tea spoon: 5 inches / 12 cm Gio Ponti was a prominent Italian architect and designer, renowned for his versatile contributions to modern architecture and design. His major works include the Pirelli Tower in Milan, the elegant furniture designs for Cassina, and his light, geometric ceramic designs for Richard Ginori. Ponti's style is characterized by an innovative use of shapes, colors, and materials, evident in both his architectural projects and product designs. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
