An artist in the 1950s named Fornasetti bought insulators from the Richard Ginori Insulator company and decorated them. They each have gold trim and are marked FORNASETTI MILANO / MADE IN ITALY inside the innermost skirt.

Around the crown: HEUREUX 1956 and around the skirt: Each day of the year with a name beside the date. Inside the skirt (faint): mint insulator and very light wear on the gold trim.

Figure $50 plus actual postage
