Bitossi Sculptural Vase or Decanter with Grapes treen box Sharp" and dated 1989I believe this unusual mid century Bitossi ceramic vessel once had a stopper and was made to function as a decanter and a fabulous one I think it would make! One could easily stick a cork or any old stopper in it to use that way, or stick a flower in it and put it at the center of a festive dinner party table perfect right next to a good bottle of Chianti! Really fun, with great sculptural form mimicking a bunch of grapes and terrific drippy glazing.
