Cafetera de plata by Emilio Zito, 1935-1942

Emilio Zito’s sketch captures the blueprint for a sophisticated vessel, though the artist couldn't quite decide what to call it! In the top right corner, 'Coffee' is firmly crossed out, leaving us with a 'Tea Pot' label—a humorous glimpse into the design process. The precise, clean lines and decorative bands indicate this was a technical drawing meant for a silversmith, likely during the 1930s or 40s. It transforms a functional object into a study of form, showing the careful planning behind everyday elegance.
