Important pair of “bottle” vases in silver plate — Italy, 20th century — Stamped

Spectacular pair of Mid-Century “gourd” or “bottle” shaped vases in silver plate, with pure and organic lines. These pieces are distinguished by their generous proportions, notably the larger model reaching 58 cm in height, making them striking decorative objects of the first order. Beneath the base, each vase bears the stamp of the prestigious Italian house “Jordan Sheffield Collection” — maison Jordan-Silverado, based near Rome. The name Jordan refers to the family of Italian designers Antonio Jordan. The mention of Sheffield does not indicate a British origin, but rather guarantees a high-quality silvering technique, inherited from traditional craftsmanship. These pieces reflect Italian design of the 1970s–80s, combining the classical elegance of silverware with highly modern minimalist forms. Very fine visual appearance. Traces of use, patina of use.
