The silver cocoa pot, a masterpiece from a bygone era, stands on the table like a reminder of bygone eras. Its pear-shaped body, solid yet full of elegance, tells of the craftsmanship of the artisans who moulded history with every stroke of the hammer. The surface still bears the traces of this work, small indentations that reflect the light in irregular patterns and give the jug a touch of life.
Three powerful paw feet, as if borrowed from a majestic animal from antiquity, proudly carry the jug. The edge of the lid, skilfully decorated with a meandering band, invites you to take a closer look and immerse yourself in the intricate world of ornamentation. The lid itself, domed and gadrooned, is crowned by a sculptural knob in the shape of a pheasant - a symbolic gesture of grace and freedom.
Not only does the hot chocolate flow from the neck of the jug, but also a story that is deeply rooted in the Renaissance. The ornate spout, crowned with a mask in the style of the period, is reminiscent of Italian palazzi and magnificent gardens. The turned wood handle, dark and supple, offers a calm contrast to the gleaming silver.
It is a piece that is more than just a jug - it is an expression of past craftsmanship, completed around 1960, with Italian pseudo-marks that give the jug a mysterious touch. A tribute to the past, when the everyday was still art and every sip of cocoa from a jug like this was a feast for the senses.
