Designed for the ritual of communal dining, it earns its place at the centre of the table without competing for attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMirror-polished 18\/10 stainless steel that holds heat and reflects light in equal measure. The long handle and solid dark wood grips give a clean contrast — warm material against bright metal. The three-legged base positions the pot at the right height above the spirit burner. Pot, lid, base, burner and tray are all present. The fondue forks are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set appears to have been used a handful of times at most. The polished steel remains bright and the wooden handles are sound. The tray carries light surface scratches from storage, visible in the photographs. Graded Very Good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarlo Mazzeri and Anselmo Vitale designed the Art. 500 for Alessi in the 1960s — a period when the Crusinallo workshop was defining what Italian industrial design for the table could be. Alessi, founded in 1921 on Lake Orta, built its reputation through the collaboration between engineers and designers who understood both manufacture and everyday use. The Art. 500 is no longer in regular production and is now sought after by collectors of mid-century Italian design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish \/ Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mirror-polished 18\/10 stainless steel · Solid dark wood handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1970s Italian production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good · Minimal use · Light storage scratches to the tray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 L capacity · Three-legged base · Spirit burner · Serving tray · Lid included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fondue pot with lid · Three-legged base · Spirit burner · Metal serving tray — fondue forks not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.3 L capacity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash recommended to preserve the mirror polish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid abrasive cloths or steel wool — they will mark the 18\/10 surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing to prevent water marks on the polished steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWooden handles should not be submerged — wipe clean with a damp cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Alessi","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":53270570107147,"sku":"202628901","price":175.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/9669\/5051\/files\/18_c724c49f-fbe5-427d-9da8-5dd974103f0d.png?v=1785233092","url":"https:\/\/officinageneralstore.com\/products\/alessi-mazzeri-vitale-fondue-set-art-500-1-3-l","provider":"L'Officina General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
