E. BAROVIER for C.DIOR ,Flacon Méplat "Tartan ARTIST Ercole Barovier MANUFACTURE Barovier & Toso PERIOD 1960's DIMENSIONS Height : 9 in. (24 cm) Width : 5 in. (13 cm) Depth : 3 in. (7.5 cm) Translucent blue-green polychrome glass proof with tartan decoration marked Christian DIOR, at the point below the base. In 1969, the year when anything seemed possible, Christian Dior commissioned Ercole Barovier to develop, design and produce a series of bottles with stoppers. Inspired by Scottish woven fabrics, Barovier created the bottle for exclusive distribution by Christian Dior in Paris and all its branches. The bottle is obtained by fusing polychrome glass rods arranged in tartan patterns. Several color variations existed, generally in shades of blue, green and red in a mass of clear glass. Each stopper was blown to fit the neck of the bottle perfectly. This example was probably produced between 1969 and 1975. The collaboration between the two companies dates back to 1969. Height 24 cm
