Vintage Marcello Fantoni Ceramic Decanter for Drioli - 1960s

Add a striking piece of Italian design history to your collection with this vintage mid-century modern ceramic decanter. Designed by the legendary Italian ceramicist Marcello Fantoni in the 1960s for the historic Italian liqueur company Drioli, this highly collectible piece doubles as a functional decanter and an exceptional work of art. 
 
The slab-built or rectangular ceramic body features a beautifully stylized, Cubist-inspired figure of a witch or renaissance character rendered in bold black glaze. This is starkly accented with vibrant, textured fat-lava style volcanic red enamel pops and a multi-colored pinstripe backdrop. True to Fantoni’s signature style, it flawlessly blends ancient Etruscan influences with avant-garde 20th-century modernism
