History and evolution
Over the centuries, cups and pouches have served not only as utilitarian objects but also as symbols of status and taste. In ancient times, these objects were often made from precious metals and ornate stones, serving as vessels for ritual offerings or as opulent decorations in aristocratic homes.
Renaissance to the 19th century
During the Renaissance, Europe rediscovered the art of antiquity, and with it a new appreciation for ornate bowls and pouches. Materials such as silver, gilt bronze and even blown glass were used to create objects that reflected the prestige and sophistication of their owners. The 19th century saw a diversification in styles with the introduction of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, where lines and shapes evolved to reflect modern artistic trends.
Contemporary
In contemporary design, bowls and pouches are transformed into veritable works of art. Designers use traditional and new materials, such as high-quality crystal, fine ceramics and polished metals, to create pieces that are both functional and extremely decorative.
