By gregn, 24 December, 2007
Description

Decanter was given to an Italian grocery store owner by a dealer in the Chicagoland area.  The decanter was on display for at least 45 years.  I have seen many of these online but at only 19" tall, I cannot find one anywhere that is as big as this one.

I have been looking for this carabiniere !!!

I come from a town in Italy that is 10 minutes from Cunardo where Coronetti was located. I started collecting these decanters since I found my first one in an thrift store in Baltimore. I have the other 3 sizes. Do you still own it?

We still own the decanter.  My father-in-law owned an Italian deli in a Chicago suburb.  The decanter was on display for many years and was given to him by a liquor salesman.  We do not want to sell the decanter, just are curious what it is worth.  It is in excellent condition and intact.
