Hi Members
Strange while looking into Forgery in Italian silver,I stumbled on to a sugar bowl and stand. That is attributed to Bruno Zaramella .On silver collection site.
I felt some similarities to a small stand i have that happens to have a Faberge hall mark.

I would be curious on thoughts if I may be correct that this may be one of his pieces? (Hi Amena hope you see this)
I have posted this stand a while ago on this forum,no one at that time that I can remember mentioned it may be Italian.
Size very small 6cms wide x5cms high.
The only conclusion I think was that it was not by Faberge.

Regards Guido

The three-legged sugar and salt bowl model had widespread success in the second half of the 19th century and was produced by very many silversmiths.
This model was revived by Zaramella in the 1950s, but it would not be strange that Fabergè could also have produced it.
However, if you ask me whether the Fabergè marks you show are genuine or not, I can't answer you

Hi Amena
Amazing.
Thanks for such a quick reply .So you are saying it is probably Italian made?
would this one have had a bowl and lid? what age?
I purchased it knowing it may not be a Faberge piece ,felt it was nice quality ,a bit of a novelty item with Faberge marks?
Regards Guido.

hi Amena
Have you seen my posts ,on yesterdays Italian plate discussion ?
I have posted some other images from auction house.
Regards Guido.

"So you are saying it is probably Italian made?"
I did not say this. I said that salt cellar of this type have been produced in large quantities everywhere.
Of course there was a bowl, sometimes of gilt silver, sometimes of glass. Sometimes, larger in size, they were sugar bowls, and in this case they had a lid.

Many thanks Amena
great work.
I will look into Italian salt bowls ,cellars.

Regards Guido.
