Ribbed Sterling Silver Barware by Pedro Duran Morales, c. 1950

Cork: 3 1/4”W x 3 3/4”H x 1”D Bottle Opener: 1 1/2”W x 4 1/2”H x 1”D

Elevate the ritual of service with this sculptural Mid-Century cocktail set by renowned Spanish silversmith Pedro Duran Morales. Crafted circa 1950, this two-piece suite—comprising a corkscrew and a bottle opener—epitomizes the transition from Art Deco geometries to the streamlined fluidity of Modernism.

The design is defined by its substantial, ribbed melon-form handles, which provide both tactile pleasure and ergonomic heft. The sterling silver features a brilliant, high-polish finish that accentuates the rhythmic fluting, creating a dynamic play of light and shadow. The corkscrew features a classic T-handle silhouette with ball finials, balanced by a robust steel worm, while the bottle opener echoes the motif with an elongated, tapered grip.

Both pieces bear the maker's mark. Please note a minor, age-appropriate impression to the finial of the corkscrew, which does not detract from the set's structural integrity or visual impact. This is a sophisticated example of Spanish silver design, perfect for the collector of fine barware.
