Bischoff Egyptian Musicians Pitcher & Ash Receiver Decanters
Item Details
A Bishoff Egyptian Musicians Pitcher and four Egyptian Musicians ash receiver decanters. Imported Brands, Brooklyn, New York, imported bottles of fine liquor and brandies from around the world in collector bottles. Bishoff was one of three companies of Imported Brands (Kord and Kamotsurubeing the other two) which held exclusively rights to all Imported Brands bottles/decanters. These Egyptian Musicians Bishoff Ceramic items were first produced in 1963 by F.lli Marchi Brescia to represent a Cleopatra theme. The pitcher contains Bishoff Cherry which was produced and bottled in Trieste, Italy. The ash receiver decanters hold Marsala wine which was also produced and bottled in Trieste, Italy. The pitcher and ash receiver decanters are hand painted with each ash receiver having a different musician and rim color. This is a rare collection according to ‘Bishoff Bottles Identification and Price Guide’ by Constance Avery, Leslie Avery, and Al Cembura (copyright 1969, Avery and Cembura Publishers, Berkley, California). The authors had never seen or examined them when the book was written. – Information gleaned from the aforementioned book due to finding only the Bishoff bottles on the internet.
