For auction is a pre 1970 BARSOTTINI VINO ROSSO decanter of the Giotto's Campanile in Florence.

This Ceramic Decanter is Approximately:

Height : 39cm ( just over 15 inches)

Width of base: 8cm

Beautifully detailed piece for display or

Can be filled with your favourite drink.

The cork is tight in the neck and would be damaged if removed, there is something inside that sounds as though it is most likely deteriorated cork.

The red you see on one side near the top section apperas to be red was that would of sealed the cork and will easily come off with a wipe if you did not want it on there.

There is a small spot of discolouration on the top side right corner on one side. The mark you see from the top above photo wiped off.

There is crazing as to be expected of something of this age.

I can quite make out the full date on the base, all I can tell is it says since what looks like 1945 and then something Florence and the year looks like 1965?

One sticker reads the amount of alcohol 12% Barsottini Vino Rosso, produce of Italy, bottled by Casa Vinicola Bocca.....can't make out the rest

I cannot find any chips/ damage to this at all

This is a really beautiful piece
