Salvador Dali for Rosso Antico, Blue Glass Barware Bottles Set, Italy 1970s
About the Item
This stunning set of three colored glass bottles was designed by Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) for Rosso Antico, Ltd, Italy, in the 1970s. Those geometric barware liquor bottles are in an assorted blue hue with Dali's surrealistic designs in blue tones, as well, on each bottle. They are marked Salvador Dali on the back with a number.
Each has a different serigraph image created by Salvador Dali. Surrealist views of vineyards focus on flower motifs for each bottle, with Dali's signature and dating integrated into the design.
Each bottle has its original black plastic stopper intact.
Rosso Antico commissioned and produced these limited-edition bottles from 1970 to 1972.
Our last picture shows the original advertising for those bottles created by Salvador Dali for the brand.
Measurements: 3.57 in diameter (9 cm) x 13.38 in high (34 cm).
Note: The history of Rosso Antico is closely linked to the Buton family of distillers, official suppliers of the Imperial House to the court of Napoleon I.
1820 is an important date, still printed today in relief on the glass of the elegant bottle. Jean Buton, the heir to the family, moved to Bologna, where he founded J. Buton & C., the first Italian steam distillery.
It was 1962 when, from the liqueur experience of the J. Buton Distillery, Rosso Antico was born, an original wine-based aperitif with a strong flavor and an iconic bottle.
These were the years of the economic boom, and there was never a shortage of opportunities to toast: Rosso Antico, with its famous drink in a goblet, smooth with orange peel, became an icon of the time, so much so that it earned the nickname of "Prince of aperitifs."
Rosso Antico already stood out in the 1960s for its commitment to communication: the productions created for Carosello, the posters, and the press pages helped build the myth of the Prince of aperitifs.
In that period, slogans such as "solo in coppa" (only in a cup) became so famous that they increased the product's notoriety even abroad.

Salvador Dalí
Instantly recognizable by his waxed, upturned mustache, the flamboyant Salvador Dalí is one of modern art’s most distinctive figures. He is also one of the icons of the 20-century avant-garde Surrealist movement, whose dreamlike images, drawn from the depths of the unconscious, he deployed in paintings, sculptures, prints and fashion, as well as in film collaborations with Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock.
Dalí was born in Figueres, Catalonia, and even as a youngster, displayed the sensitivity, sharp perception and vivid imagination that would later define his artworks. In these, he conjured childhood memories and employed religious symbols and Freudian imagery like staircases, keys and dripping candles to create unexpected, often shocking pieces.
Dalí's use of hyperrealism in conveying Surrealist symbols and concepts that subvert accepted notions of reality is epitomized in what is perhaps his most recognizable painting, The Persistence of Memory (1931), in which he depicts the fluidity of time through melting clocks, their forms inspired by Camembert cheese melting in the sun. His artistic genius, eccentric personality and eternal quest for fame made him a global celebrity.
“Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure,” he once said. “That of being Salvador Dalí.”

- Mid-Century Modernist Geometric Lucite Bowl Barware Server, 1970sBy General DecorationLocated in Atlanta, GAThis sophisticated Mid-Century modernist Lucite or acrylic barware bowl, tray, or serving dish was crafted by Grainware in the 1970s. The serving centerpiece boasts a geometric shape with three carved containers for snacks, olives, nuts, or vegetables and has a tall and sturdy handle. The acrylic has a luxurious weight and crystal-clear transparency, similar to genuine crystal. There is no visible maker's mark. The serving set is in excellent condition, with no pronounced signs of wear. Measurements: 11.50 in wide (29 cm) x 10 in deep (25.5 cm) x 8 in high (20.5 cm). Note: Acrylic was invented in 1902 by Otto Röhm, a German chemist, but its mass production did not begin until 1933 when Röhm GmbH (currently Evonik Degussa GmbH) began to market it under the Plexiglas® brand. Also known as ACRYLITE®, Lucite®, and Perspex®, acrylic is noted for its unparalleled transparency among polymers. It is also BPA-free and a food-grade material commonly used for outdoor tableware. Not long after Plexiglas became available, Plastic Productions Company of Redwood City, CA, began manufacturing housewares using acrylic sheets. These products were primarily black or gray. As a result, the products were initially marketed under the Gray n Ware brand, later changed to Grainware. Charles McCrea, who owned the Plastic Productions Company, was also its chief product designer. In June of 1951, the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MOMA) acquired several Grainware products, which remain on display today. In 1971, SiLite Inc. acquired the Plastic Productions Company, a housewares and giftware manufacturer based in Chicago, Illinois. Under its president, Robert Parmacek, SiLite introduced new products made using transparent acrylic sheets under the Grainware brand, which were wildly successful. Consequently, Grainware became known as a brand of predominantly clear acrylic products. The next transformation of the Grainware brand came in the late 1970s when Mr. Parmacek changed the production process from vacuum forming of acrylic sheets to injection molding of acrylic resins. The new technique enabled Grainware to mass-produce intricate designs, cementing its reputation as a high-end brand of unique giftware and housewares. In 1991, Carlisle Companies Inc. acquired SiLite Inc. and the Grainware brand, but Jolly Tone remained the primary manufacturer of Grainware products. In 2012, Jolly Tone bought the Grainware brand in partnership with William Bounds...Category
