A striking icon of late 20th-century Italian postmodernism that turns tabletop utility into performance art. This authentic vintage fruit coupe or centerpiece bowl was designed and produced by the prestigious Casa Bugatti in Italy. Mimicking an Atlas-like figure holding up the sky, the sculptural pedestal stem features a stylized, elegant woman clad in a vibrant, high-gloss crimson-red resin gown, supported by a heavy chrome-plated base and polished collar. The figure supports a wide, frosted white glass shallow bowl—perfect for displaying colorful citrus, fresh fruits, or standing alone as a bold architectural statement piece. The Authentication Note: • Engraved Heritage: Unlike modern reproductions or contemporary re-issues that rely on cheap, peel-and-stick adhesive plastic labels, this early vintage casting features the official, permanent "Bugatti Italy" hallmark crisply engraved directly into the metalwork of the base. This acts as an absolute guarantee of its mid-era studio production and long-term collector value. The Design & Appeal: • Postmodern Narrative: The blend of polished chrome, matte frosted glass, and fiery pop-art red resin beautifully captures the theatrical Italian kitchen-art era popularized in the 1990s. • Impeccable Structural Balance: Despite the wide, expansive radius of the glass bowl, the weighted mirror-chrome bottom foot ensures rock-solid stability on a dining table or kitchen island. Specifications: • Origin: Casa Bugatti, Lumezzane, Italy (Circa 1990s). • Materials: Chrome-Plated Steel, Heavy Red Resin, Frosted Blown Glass. • Dimensions: 10.6” H x 11.6” Diameter (27cm x 29.5cm) • Weight: 3 lbs (1.365 kg) • Base Mark: Authentic "Bugatti Italy" incised stamp on the metal base edge. Condition: Good vintage condition. The frosted glass bowl is remarkably clean with no chips, fractures, or deep scratches. The glass has some light staining. The red resin dress retains a vivid, un-faded red color saturation, and the chrome shows a bright, mirror-like finish with slight pitting and no heavy oxidation. It does have some scratches from cleaning that can be seen in the pictures.
