Sure to create a charming and special atmosphere, the Generale Corallo Ornament from Alessi draws inspiration from the past. Designer Marcello Jori took his cue from the famous jeweled eggs of Peter Carl Faberge, and that pedigree can be seen in the lovely jeweled accents that make the eyes, nose and mouth of the general. Made from delicate porcelain and hand decorated, the Generale Corallo with its lively color and design will make a perfect addition to the modern Christmas Tree.
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalo is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world. A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential. --Alberto Alessi
