Vintage Signed “Igi” Nickel‑Plated Brass & Black Plastic Modernist Candy Dish, Late 1970s–1980s

Sculptural modernist candy dish signed Igi on the underside, blending nickel‑plated brass with a black molded plastic lid and foot for a clean, architectural silhouette. This late 1970s–1980s export design carries the clarity and restraint of post‑Bauhaus metalware, making it a striking accent for collectors who appreciate presence and precision.
In very good vintage condition: the lid shows light surface scratches, and there is a tiny dent on the side of the metal bowl. The piece has not been polished to preserve its original patina; the buyer may polish if desired.
