Authentic Carlo Giannini serving vessel designed by Flavio Sambinelli and made in Italy from 18/10 stainless steel with a wood handle and hinged lid.
Approximately 12 inches tall with a capacity of about 1.2 liters (4-5 cups).
This sculptural postmodern design is often identified in Giannini catalogs as the "Olierone" oil decanter, but its generous capacity, secure hinged lid, and elegant pouring spout also make it a striking tea, coffee, hot water, or table service server.
