Offered by Emmanuel Redon Silver Fine Art
Silverware and Silversmith of the 19th and 20th centuries
Silver vase, Italy, Alessandria, CESA SC (hallmark 1 AL)
Circa 1970
This silver vase features a simple, slightly curved silhouette, resting on a polished circular pedestal that interacts with the upper rim, also polished and shiny. The surface of the body contrasts with its distinctive treatment: matte granulation, punctuated by small, irregular indentations, which enliven the material with effects of light and shadow. This decoration, both discreet and refined, gives the object an organic and contemporary character, reminiscent of natural or mineral textures.

Hallmarks: 1 AL: Silversmith's hallmark registered in Alessandria, assigned to CESA SC (now CESA 1882).
Silversmith: Founded in 1882, CESA quickly established itself as a major player in Italian silversmithing. In 1920, it was granted the privilege of becoming an official supplier to the Royal House of Savoy, which established its reputation for the production of luxury silverware.
During the 20th century, the company distinguished itself for its ability to combine the great Italian artisanal tradition with modern decorative research. In 1988, CESA acquired Ricci Argentieri (formerly hallmarked 20 AL), further expanding its expertise and formal repertoire. In 1994, it joined Gruppo Greggio, one of Europe's largest producers of silverware and silver-plated metal, which continues its legacy.
