Stainless Steel Pitcher with Wood Handle | Mid-Century Modern Italian
Stainless Steel Pitcher with Wood Handle | Mid-Century Modern Italian
When Italian Modernism went to the bar cart
This cocktail strainer, c.1960s, embodies the precision and elegance of Italian Mid-Century design. Made from brushed stainless steel, its matte body narrows to a stable base, the form as pleasing as it is practical. The removable perforated insert — complete with a slim ring pull — was engineered for seamless straining, keeping ice and citrus at bay while your Negroni flows freely. The flat lid, designed to rest snugly within the cone’s rim, underscores the restraint and clarity of the piece. Echoing the language of Alessi, Guzzini, and Zani & Zani, it marries utilitarian innovation with sculptural presence. Carefully curated so you can collect with confidence.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
