EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of exquisite urn-shaped wine coolers, adorned with intricate foliate scrolls and bullrush handles. Created around 1880 by the talented silversmith Jean-Baptiste Gustave Odiot, these stunning pieces are now held in a private collection. The monogram featured on the wine coolers is none other than that of Maria Pia of Savoy (1847-1911), the second daughter of King Vittorio Emanuele II of Italy (1820-1878) and wife to King Luais I of Portugal (1838-1889). The craftsmanship displayed in these wine coolers is truly remarkable. Every detail, from the delicate scrollwork to the elegant bullrush handles, speaks volumes about Odiot's skill as an artist. These urns not only serve as functional vessels for chilling wine but also stand as works of art in their own right. The historical significance attached to this particular pair adds another layer of intrigue. Once owned by royalty, they bear witness to a time when opulence and refinement were highly valued. Captured beautifully in this photograph by eChristies Images, these silver urn-shaped wine coolers continue to captivate viewers today. Their timeless beauty serves as a testament to both Odiot's talent and the enduring allure of fine art objects throughout history.
