Piero Fornasetti Ice Basket realized for FIAT, 60s

Description
The company's origins start from the art print shop Piero Fornasetti opened in the 1930s in Milan. The "Stamperia d'Arte Fornasetti" enjoyed some success in Milan's cultural milieu; Raffaele Carrieri in 1978 wrote in Epoca, "He was the first to print lithographs of De Chirico in Milan in a rather remote time."
A key moment in the founding of the company was the meeting between Piero Fornasetti and Gio Ponti in the 1940s, which led to the opening of Atelier Fornasetti.
Here we have an ice basket realized by Fornasetti in 60s for FIAT, the main car factory in Turin, as you can see at the bottom of the basket itself, where there is the original label. It is made in brass with lithograph decoration on red background.
Good condition, fully original, ready to be shipped.
