A rare vintage Italian dessert set by Argentinox, crafted in high-quality 18/10 stainless steel.
This elegant 15-piece set includes five dessert bowls, five matching saucers and five beautifully decorated dessert spoons. The manufacturer is no longer in production, making complete original sets increasingly difficult to find.
The bowls immediately stand out for their unusual openwork stems inspired by Rococo scrollwork. Their sculptural design combines graceful curves with polished stainless steel, creating pieces that feel both decorative and timeless. The richly patterned spoons complement the bowls perfectly and complete the set with remarkable attention to detail.
Designed for serving ice cream, desserts or fruit, this striking set also makes a beautiful display piece for collectors of Italian design and vintage tableware.
