A very large volcanic-style ceramic flask handmade in Italy in the 1950's or 1960's for liqueur producer Drioli

The Drioli company had a flourishing export market during the 1950's and 60's for its Maraschino, a cherry liqueur produced in the Veneto region of Italy. The liqueur was particularly popular in the UK. Drioli commissioned a broad range of hand-made novelty ceramic bottles and flasks for its liqueur, and these are now widely collected.

This is one of the largest flasks produced for Drioli and is a splendid example in excellent condition with no damage. The small mark that can be seen towards the centre of the base of the bottle in the right-hand picture below is the remains of an old paper label. The stopper and contents are no longer present. The ceramic stands 27.5cm (10.75 inches) tall overall and is stamped on the base with the numbers 08 and 30 and the legend "Exclusive Drioli. Made in Italy."
