Lot #2168: Vintage Liquore Galliano Carabiniere Figural Ceramic Decanter – Made in Italy – Distillerie Riunite di Liquori, Solaro – McKesson New York Label

Liquore Galliano figural decanter in the form of an Italian Carabiniere in full dress uniform. This decanter comes from the same estate as the vintage radio collection featured in this auction, and it has been well preserved, with its original label, sword and tassel still intact. The decanter is empty. The tall ceramic figure stands at attention in a glossy black uniform with white epaulettes and crossbelt, gold buttons and a bicorne hat. The removable plume in red, white and green, the colours of the Italian flag, doubles as the stopper. He holds a metal sword stamped “Made in Italy,” trimmed with an orange corded tassel. The base reads “Liquore Galliano” in red lettering. The original back label states it was made and bottled by Distillerie Riunite di Liquori, Solaro (Italy), exclusively for McKesson Liquor Co., New York (23/32 quart, 80 proof). The underside carries a red Italian maker’s mark. It’s a must-have for collectors of figural decanters, Galliano and Italian liquor memorabilia, or anyone who loves bold mid-century barware.
