Silver Creamer 1935 - 1942

Giacinto Capelli rendered this silver creamer in a detailed drawing. The object, utilitarian yet elegant, reminds us of vessels throughout history, laden with ritual and domestic significance. Consider the form, round and full, supported by delicate feet. The vessel motif echoes across cultures; think of the ancient Greek amphora, used for wine and oil, or the sacred chalices of religious ceremonies. These objects transcend mere utility; they become symbols of sustenance, abundance, and even spiritual nourishment. This seemingly simple creamer bears witness to our deep-seated need to imbue everyday objects with meaning. The act of pouring, of sharing, carries an emotional weight, passed down through generations. This vessel, like its predecessors, serves as a silent carrier of our collective memories, resurfacing in new forms, constantly evolving yet forever tethered to our shared human experience.
