The sleek, exotic-looking shape was inspired by a calamari squid; the original drawings were sketched on a pizza-stained paper placemat.

These examples were individually made, and specially designed for making the then popular citrus drink sorbet. Lemons are not native to northern Turkey, though during the 17th and 18th centuries they were imported in bulk to Constantinople. [1]The anniversary edition honours the iconic design, since the squeezer is offered in a limited version of 299 pieces of massive cast bronze and in a version of matt white ceramic coating.
