Vintage Montagnani style, silver plated cast brass Cocktail or Appetizer Set of 6 pieces in Orig Box. This baroque design set was made in Italy for the Around the World Shoppers Club, which operated out of New Jersey and Montreal in the 1960s to bring interesting items from various locales around the world to member shoppers in the US and Canada. The enclosed brochure describes the details of the origins of the pieces and Florence, where this set was produced and boxed. Lovely heraldic utensils such as these, were originally produced as souvenirs of Italy from a factory in Montagnani, Italy, founded in 1871 by a man named Giovani. The first items produced there were not marked. From 1891 on to the closing of the factory in 1918 (due to WWI), however, pieces were stamped "Italy" on the back. Due to their popularity, pieces were produced in silver, pewter, gold and silver plate and included serving pieces, sets of spoons, forks and more and continue to be produced in various places in Italy. This set is in very good condition, including the box, which is covered with the traditional fleur-de-lis emblem of Florence - see photos for details. A nice set to create an interesting appetizer plate for sharing cocktails or as a fun gift for someone looking forward to traveling to Florence.
