Both a celebration of family and new life, the Piacere Pulcina Il Grande Ornament from Alessi is the perfect addition to Christmas decor. Resembling a chick about to hatch, the wonderful jeweled shell is cracked open to reveal only the eyes and beak peeking out playfully. Made from delicate painted porcelain and hand decorated, the Piacere Pulcina will inspire adults and children alike as it dangles from the boughs of your 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
