Footed bowl 925 silver Ketty - chalice shape, H 11.5 cm

Some silver pieces don't need to contain anything to make an impact. The Ketty footed bowl is one such piece: a fanned, open bowl in the shape of a chalice, which is an eye-catcher on its own on the table – filled with fruit or confectionery, it carries even more weight.

Material and workmanship

The Ketty is made of solid 925 sterling silver, not silver-plated. The wide, fanned, flower-like open bowl rests on a slender turned baluster stem and a round base – a classic chalice shape, as known from 18th and 19th-century table culture. The surface is consistently highly polished: the effect arises solely from the form and the play of light in the fanned facets of the cup. Zaramella manufactures this piece in Italy as a commissioned item – not a stock item, but a silver bowl created to order, and therefore always arriving to you with a fresh, untouched polish.

Use and occasions

Filled with fruit, chocolates or fine pastries, the Ketty becomes the festive centerpiece of the table; when empty, it is a polished silver object that stands on its own on a sideboard or dining table. In an ensemble with silver vases or candelabras, it unfolds its full effect as part of a set table. This footed bowl is suitable as a gift for grand occasions: for a wedding, a round anniversary, a housewarming, or as a prestigious business gift – wherever a gift is meant to last, not just for a moment.

Care

Clean the Ketty by hand with lukewarm water and a mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly. You should avoid silver dipping baths and abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the polished surface. Light tarnish can be removed with a soft silver polishing cloth – the high-gloss polish of the fanned cup will be particularly enhanced. Between uses, it is best to store the bowl dry and without direct contact with other silver.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Ketty best suited for?

It works both filled and empty: as a bowl for fruit, confectionery or pastries, as well as a pure decorative object on a sideboard or dining table. Many customers also use it as a sculptural solitaire in the center of the table.

Is the Ketty made of solid silver or silver-plated?

The Ketty is made entirely of solid 925 sterling silver, not a silver-plated base metal. This distinguishes it from many decorative bowls on the market and makes it a piece with substance and longevity.

Can I combine several sizes of the Ketty?

Yes, the Ketty is available in several heights. In pairs or as a small group of different sizes, the chalice shape unfolds its effect particularly well on a larger table.
