Description | Vintage Piero Fornasetti Insulator Paperweight- "The New Key To Dreams", Late 1950's (NY9170/ikk) Dimensions: Height: 3 3/4 inches high x 2 1/2 inches wide This is a great Fornasetti paperweight from Italian designer Piero Fornasetti's line of ceramic insulators, cleverly repurposed into paperweight pen rests and decorated with wonderfully wry designs. Very slight rubbing to the interior edge of the pen rest on top. This is the very collectible English-language version of The New [Key] to Dreams, a post-Surrealist legend to dream interpretation. If you dream of a mushroom, it may warn of deception....a butterfly, of wantonness....and so on. This insulator was probably produced by the Ginori factory for Fornasetti's studio. Mark: Fornasetti, Milano - Made in Italy. See: A related paperweight in form and design at the Victoria & Albert Museum, Museum number: C.67-1985 (http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O170023/paperweight-fornasetti-piero/) |
