Fred Press (1919-2012)
Fred Press was born in Boston, MA in 1919. He studied and later taught at the Vesper George School of Art and was the founder of the sculpture collection Contemporary Arts, Inc. In the 1950s, Press moved to New York City where he became chief designer for Rubel and Co. and turned his artistic skills towards glassware and giftware.
He was one of the most versatile and prolific of America's 20th Century designers. Press produced hundreds of sculptures and paintings (which are part of the permanent collection of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts) in addition to numerous glassware designs. His product designs won awards from New York's Museum of Modern Art. His unique products and glassware remain popular today.

Piero Fornasetti Complete Set of Eight Ceramic Coasters, Italian Opera
By Piero Fornasetti
Located in Downingtown, PA
Piero Fornasetti Complete Set of Eight Ceramic Coasters,
Il Mondo Alla Rovecia Pattern, (“The topsy-turvy world”),
After opera by Antonio Salieri,
1950-60s
The set of whimsical pottery barware pottery coasters represent different scenes from an Opera, Il Mondo Alla Rovecia with the roles of each character reversed. There is the bottom section of the gold cardboard box.
Dimensions: 4 1/8 inches diameter x 1 1/8 inches high (10.48cm diameter)
With Antonio Salieri’s star on the wane, Il mondo alla rovescia (“The topsy-turvy world”) was coolly received by the Viennese in January 1795 and quickly fell into near-oblivion for over two centuries. It is an amusing comedy from an experienced master of opera buffa.
The mildly risqué action is set on a mythical island where women, Amazon-like, rule the roost and men are reduced to drooling subservience. The status quo is challenged with the arrival of two shipwrecked aristocrats, a Count and a Marquise, and a European vessel intent on their rescue – although, in keeping with contemporary taste.
