Buccellati Archives: the vintage artichoke.

The story of Buccellati’s artichoke began in the 60s. Gianmaria Buccellati continued in the footsteps of his father Mario, a fine silversmith, and produced a series of vegetables, including the thorny artichoke. Inside its leaves, he cleverly concealed the mechanism of a cigarette lighter. Thanks to the continuous research in the our Heritage Team, a rare exemplar was recently restored and brought back to its former glory, and can now be admired in our Archives. #Buccellati #BuccellatiArchive
