Description
Stunning Color and Decor from the Days of Peace and Love
A beautiful dark blue called ‘Peacock’ by mid 20th century glass makers. The color is reminiscent of the stunning blue seen in peacock tails. Probably made in Italy. Most fancy bottles like this were exported from Italy as it was the favored glass source in those days. The dove and flower decor is an icon of the hippie generation. Circa 1960s.
The decor is raised in soft pillowed lines and the surface of the bottle is textured in hammered-like bumps. The cork on the stem the of the original stopper has worn away during the past 5 decades. Previous owner used masking tape, wrapped around the glass insert where the cork used to be, to steady the stopper. The masking tape is hard and shrunk with age. We suspect the decor on this bottle may be a Husted design for an Italian maker. Truly beautiful relic of the hippie days.
This lovely decanter measures 13.5″ tall, 5.5″ wide and 2″ deep. The heavy, thick molded glass weighs 2.25 lbs. Looks stunning on a window sill with the light shining through.[color-box]More About Italian, Murano, Venetian Glass[/color-box]
