Rare Archimede Seguso Murano Alabastro Duck Decanter Stopper – 1969 Bischoff Cordials Edition
R1,450-

- This alabastro glass duck is part of a rare limited‑edition line created by Archimede Seguso in collaboration with Bischoff Cordials during the 1960s. Seguso designed six different alabastro animal decanters (including duck, swan, fish, rabbit, elephant, and others) as promotional vessels for Bischoff’s liqueurs and cherry wine
- Bischoff Cordials collaboration was a short‑lived promotional campaign, meaning production numbers were modest and exact figures were never published. Surviving examples suggest only hundreds per design, not mass‑market thousands, making them scarce and highly collectible today
- The duck form, created for Bischoff’s cherry wine in 1969, is among the most desirable due to its size (26 cm) and elegant alabastro gradient.
- This edition is highly collectible due to its provenance and size, making it a desirable addition for Murano glass enthusiasts and mid‑century collectors

* Condition - small hardly noticeable chip towards bottom of left wing, as pictured.
Priced accordingly
