Title: Fratelli Toso - Ermanno Toso Bottle Vase?
Post by: ShawnC01 on August 22, 2016, 03:06:41 AM

Hello!  I recently purchased this piece at an Estate Sale.  Am I correct that is a Fratelli Toso Bottle designed by Ermanno Toso?  It measures 10 1/2 inches tall. 

ANY information about this piece or direction to find more information would be greatly appreciated.

Comments and opinions also welcome. 

I have found only a few examples and they are all taller - about 15 inches.

Thank you for your time.
Shawn

Welcome to the message board Shawn.

The information you have looks to be spot on - there are five examples (vases and bottles) in Leslie Pina's book on Fratelli Toso, she gives them dates between 1952 and 1958. In terms of proportion, neck and body, yours looks absolutely fine so just a slightly smaller example.
