1940 - 1960
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

A fabulous modernist silver plated bar or cocktail jug; about as stylish as they get. Made even more interesting as this example was used during the 1963 Canada Cup at the grand private gold club of Western Paris, Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche.

The year of 1963 was when the World Championship was held at this stylish French club, at the time known as the Canada cup and that year was won by The American team of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.

Style and interest, what could be better to adorn the most stylish of bars. Fully marked on the underside for the famous Parisian silversmith, orfevrerie christofle for it's Gallia range and designed by Lion Sabattini.

Excellent condition having just returned from our silversmith's workshop where it has been professionally cleaned and polished, restoring it to it's former glory. Spanning approximately 7" to include the handle x 4" x 8" tall.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

During the mid-20th century, European designers revolutionised post-war metalware by combining traditional silver-plating techniques with sculptural, minimalist forms. Collaborative efforts between Italian designers and renowned French silversmiths produced sleek bar accessories tailored for modern cocktail culture.

Mid-century cocktail pitchers were commonly constructed from electroplated nickel silver or brass finished with a high-grade silver coating. Handles and spouts were precision-soldered or cast to achieve clean, unornamented silhouettes.

Authentic period pieces feature stamped maker marks, production hallmarks, or creator signatures near the base or rim. Look for distinct manufacturer stamps such as Gallia or Christofle alongside weight characteristics consistent with heavy silver plating.

Display the pitcher on a sideboard top, drinks tray, or bar cart alongside mid-century glassware to highlight its reflective metallic finish. Its minimalist geometric lines also allow it to serve as a freestanding decorative vessel on open shelving.

Clean silver-plated items using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish formulated to remove surface oxidisation. Avoid harsh detergents or dishwashers, and dry thoroughly after washing to preserve the silver layer.
