Vintage Italian Handmade Genuine Silver Decorative Sugar Cube Tonges with Rose Flower Motif, 1970s

A pair of small vintage sugar cube tongs, handcrafted in 800/000 silver in Italy between the 1970s and 1980s, reflecting the Italian tradition of creating elegant yet functional silver tableware accessories. Objects of this kind embody the refined tea and coffee serving culture once typical of European households, where even practical utensils were designed with decorative sophistication and artisanal care.

The tongs feature a delicate floral motif shaped as a rose, combined with a balanced and well proportioned structure. The craftsmanship is refined and detailed, with a design that successfully merges practicality with ornamental elegance, making the piece suitable both for display and occasional functional use.

The hallmark includes the 800 silver standard, indicating second standard silver, together with traces of an Italian silversmith code. The most likely attribution points toward production in Florence, although the origin cannot be documented with complete certainty.

Technically usable, though primarily intended today as a decorative and collectible vintage object due to its age and artisanal character.

An excellent addition for collectors of silver tableware, tea service enthusiasts, or anyone looking for elegant vintage accessories with authentic retro charm.
