fourth quarter 20th century, designed by Piero Figura for Atena, Milan, the hemispherical bowl banded with coral branches and scallop shells and resting on three large brown crabs, all life-sized and realistically detailed.
h. 10-1/4", dia. 18-1/2", base w. 21-3/4"
Condition
A large and handsome piece in generally good condition. Some light scuffs on the bowl interior, and three very shallow compression dents where the bowl rests on the backs of the crabs (probably a result of having been dropped - the piece is quite heavy, at 35.5 lbs/16 kg). Nice detail. Each crab marked "Figura Piero per Atena" on one claw and with Atena sun trademark and "Etain" on the other.
