BUY THIS FANATASTIC VINTAGE NINATURE BLUE GLASS LIQOUR CONTAINER FROM DRIOLI. THIS IS TRULY A RARE FIND!!

THE MEASUREMENTS ARE 9.5 CM HIGH AND DIAMETER 4.5 CM.

HERE IS SOME HISTORY ON THIS RARE PRODUCT!

 

Drioli

To us modern-day collectors of "Drioli bottles" we are talking about the decorative, Italian hand-painted majolica decanters, and glass liqueur bottles, bearing the Drioli name, which were produced from the 1950's through to the 70's. In reality though, the company and name of Drioli dates back to 18th century Dalmatia, to a place called Zara, a port city which is now part of Croatia.

It is here that Fransesco Drioli first produced his liqueur made from the Marachino Cherry, a liqueur that became popular in the fashionable quarters of Europe. The early glass Drioli bottles are collectable in their own right; long and square in shape, an aqua-green in colour and often with an elaborate impressed seal bearing on ornate Zara crest. These bottles were encased in a woven straw case to protect them during transportation, a feature which was subsequently used throughout their history . The standard, non-decorative Drioli miniature liqueur bottle was tall, slender and square in shape with a straw wrapper.

During World War II, the Drioli factory was destroyed (along with pretty much all of Zara), and the company relocated to a place called Mira, near Venice. It is during this time after the war, during the 1950?s, that Drioli started to use fancy, hand-decorated ceramic bottles for their liqueur products, to be sold as souvenir giftware for the burgeoning package holiday market.

Little is known about this period, and why and when the company ceased business sometime in the 1970's.
