1960s Drioli miniature liquor bottle/decanter: Native American girl

A 1960s ceramic miniature liquor decanter by Drioli, Italy, modelled as a seated Native American girl in traditional dress. This figural bottle forms part of Drioli's popular range of novelty spirit decanters produced during the mid-century period. Hand-painted  with detailed clothing and facial features, the figure incorporates a lenticular "animated" picture panel to the front. As the viewing angle changes, the image transforms, creating a moving visual effect that was a popular novelty feature of the era. The original Cherry Drioli label remains attached, while the underside bears the Exclusive Drioli – Made in Italy backstamp.

The figure originally had a removable stopper fitted into the head, but this example is missing its stopper and is therefore sold as an incomplete display piece.
