These so called bird bottles are widely collected and they come in quite a few colours and sizes. We have noticed throughout our career that they are usually situated near the windows and on balconies. They do look much nicer as the sun/day light filters through them, and especially with a few different colours laying side by side. Signed by Timo.
This type bottle won the Grand Prix in the Milan Triennials XI 1957.
