1960s Alfra Alessi (Italy) Hinged Lidded Stainless Steel Sugar Bowl

This is a beautfully designed, great quality item from the famous Italian stainless steel manufacturer, Alessi.  It has two triangular handles - one to each side - and a hinged lid with a stylised knob.  Marked to the base with 'Alfra Alessi 18/8 Stainless Steel Italy-MOD DEP' - this particular mark was in use from 1947 to 1967 so this piece cannot date any later than 1967.  Probably designed by Carlo Mazzeri and Anselmo Vitale who were responsible for most of the iconic designs from Alessi during the 1960s.  Please see all photographs below for alternative views and close-ups.
