Trio of Vintage Italian Pilla Leather Wrapped Glass Decanters - This lot features a collection of three vintage Italian glass decanters, each hand-wrapped in leather with decorative printed panels. The bottles are of various geometric forms and represent mid-century European barware design. The first decanter is a rectangular vessel made of green glass, wrapped in light tan leather. The body is decorated with a printed historical maritime map of the world including Latin text such as TERRA INCOGNITA and MAR DEL ZUR. It is accented with gold-toned embossed leather bands featuring repeating scrollwork at the shoulder and base. The stopper is a matching tan leather-wrapped cylinder. The second decanter has a triangular dark brown glass body wrapped in tan and dark brown leather. The front panel displays a full-color printed graphic of a multi-masted wooden sailing ship. The base of the glass is embossed with MODELLO DEPOSITATO, PILLA, 14, and A. A small red and gold oval adhesive label on the base reads MADE IN ITALY. It is fitted with a large spherical turned wood stopper. The third decanter is a square-bodied brown glass vessel wrapped in dark brown leather. The front panel features a printed scenic view of Florence, Italy, including the Duomo and Giotto's Bell Tower, framed by a gold-toned serrated border. The neck is finished with a textured, braided leather wrap and is topped with a fluted wooden melon-style stopper. All three decanters are part-used or empty, containing no liquid. Width: 4 1/2 inches (at the base of the triangular decanter) Height: 10 3/4 inches (to the top of the spherical stopper).
