I founded Famous Firsts, Ltd. and Bottles Beautiful over 47 years ago. My factory was in Northern Italy and the Orient and created faithful, painstaking, finished-by-hand ceramic and porcelain replicas of historic vehicles which achieved a first in the annals of mankind. Our company pioneered movable parts: wheels that turn on our cars, planes, and trains....cranks that revolve....bells that ring, etc. Most of our editions are dated and hallmarked for collector interest and value. Our production of individual editions is, of necessity, limited because of the tremendous amount of handwork and detail. Famous Firsts, Ltd. and Bottles Beautifuldecanters decanters have earned worldwide recognition as an outstanding example of bottle artistry at its finest. We also imported from Italy the finest porcelain and ceramic handmade, life like, wildlife and domestic animal figurines. The discriminating collector and/or gift giver are our most admirers.
In a recent move to a new facility, to our surprise, we discovered in a remote section of our massive warehouse, a limited quantity of Famous Firsts, Ltd. andBottle Beautiful liquor decanters and animal figurines in perfect condition. Only a few of our magnificent editions remain and are now available for sale. With today\'s manufacturing costs in Europe, this fine piece could never be reproduced again anywhere in the world close to the original cost.
