Striking mid-century Italian crystal ewer featuring ornate silver-plated mounts and a dramatic sculptural dragon-form handle. This elegant piece was produced for Distillerie Buton, a historic Italian distillery founded in 1820, with metalwork commissioned through G. Galbiati of Milan.
The faceted crystal body is complemented by richly detailed silver-tone metal, including an elaborate dragon handle, decorative collar, and wide sculptural spout. The original cork stopper with metal finial remains intact. A rare example of Italian presentation-quality barware, ideal for display, bar styling, or European-inspired interiors.
Condition: Very good vintage condition. Crystal is free of chips or cracks. Silver-plated elements show age-appropriate patina consistent with vintage Italian silver. Original cork stopper present with expected age wear.
Dimensions (approximate) • Height: 13 in • Width (spout to handle): 6.5 in • Base Diameter: 4.25 in
