Girotondo Glass Jar

A storage jar that carries the Girotondo motif in silk-screen rather than cut steel. It belongs to the collection designed for Alessi by the King-Kong studio of Stefano Giovannoni and Guido Venturini, the printed frieze of figures echoing the openwork pieces in the same line.

The body is glass, sealed by a hermetic lid in mirror-polished steel that keeps the contents airtight. It stands about nine centimetres high, a little over ten across, and holds half a litre.
