Footed Bowl 925 Silver Settecento - oval, 15x12 cm

An oval instead of a circle changes how a bowl appears on the table: more elongated, calmer, as if made for a stretched table center. With its fanned bowl body, the Settecento quotes the design language of the 18th century – in solid 925 Sterling silver.

Material and Workmanship

The Settecento is made entirely of solid 925 Sterling silver, not from silver-plated base metal. Its oval bowl body is fanned and lobed – a pattern reminiscent of an open blossom or a ribbed fruit, offering many small reflective surfaces to the light. The bowl is supported by a low, finely profiled base that provides secure support without interrupting the horizontal line of the shape. The continuous high-gloss polish emphasizes the clear, 18th-century-inspired design language of the Settecento line. Zaramella manufactures this piece in Italy as a commissioned, made-to-order item.

Use and Occasions

Filled with fruit, confectionery, or pastries, the Settecento becomes the festive center of the table; when empty, it is a polished silver object on a sideboard or dining table. The oval shape is particularly suitable for elongated table centers or sideboards where a round bowl would fill less space. In a pair or an ensemble with silver vases, it fully unfolds its effect. As a gift, this size is suitable for weddings, round anniversaries, housewarmings, or as a representative business gift.

Care

Clean the Settecento by hand with lukewarm water and mild dish soap, then dry it thoroughly. Avoid silver dipping baths and abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the polished surface and the fine fluting of the cup. Light tarnish between the fluting can be easily removed with a soft silver polishing cloth. Store the bowl dry and, if possible, without direct contact with other silver pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes the Settecento from the Ketty footed bowl?

The Settecento is oval instead of round and has a low, wide base instead of a high stem, while the Ketty rests on a baluster stem in a chalice shape. Both are solid 925 Sterling silver, but their design language creates different effects on the table.

Which table size is suitable for the smallest Settecento format?

At approx. 15×12 cm, this is the most compact version of the Settecento line – suitable for smaller tables, as a side bowl, or for sideboards with limited space.

Can I combine several Settecento sizes?

Yes, the Settecento is available in several sizes. Larger and smaller versions can be well combined to create a tiered arrangement on a long table.
