Notes
Produced by Alfra Alessi (Alessi Fratelli), the trade name used by Alessi during the 1950s and 1960s, the Bombé tea service was designed by Carlo Alessi in 1945 and remains one of the company's most celebrated designs. Executed in mirror-polished stainless steel with Bakelite handles and finials, its sculptural rounded forms exemplify the elegance and functional refinement of post-war Italian design.
