Vintage c1784 Stafanc Ugolini Firenze Coffee/ Pepper Grinder- Great Condition

Stafano Ugolini Firenze, 1784 Fruitwood & Brass Pepper Mill. In the 20th century, the 1784 date is an honorific date associated with one of his hotels in Florence, not the date of manufacture.

An uncommon and exquisite Stefano Ugolini Firenze 1784 fruitwood and brass pepper mill, likely supplied to one of the prestigious Stefano Ugolini hotels. Known for seamlessly blending traditionalism with design innovation, these hotels are a testament to one of the world's most visionary hoteliers.

This large pepper mill stands at 17 inches high with a 5-inch diameter. It features a brass and wood crank and a domed opening that leads to a tapering, turned, bulbous fruitwood urn-shaped body. The grinder is beautifully adorned with an oval engraved brass plate inscribed'1784 Crossed Swords Firenze,' highlighting its rich history, and has "made in Italy" carved into the bottom of the base.

Handmade in two parts, the 15-inch-high mill locks into a removable brass-mounted wood basin base, measuring 5 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. The meticulous craftsmanship and elegant design make this piece not only functional but also a striking addition to any kitchen or collection. Ready to place and use, this Stefano Ugolini pepper mill is a stunning example of Italian craftsmanship and history.
