A bright green, pop-era decanter and stopper with a latticework skirt of thick, white-and-butterscotch “icing” from the Bros. Fanciullacci of Florence. Its long, slender neck rises from an ample bell-shaped reservoir to be topped with an egg-shaped stopper that fits loosely in the opening. We’re frankly not sure whether the attached cork is intended to fit so loosely—or if it has shrunk over the years. Either way, it could easily be replaced if a tighter fit were preferred.


FRATELLI FANCIULLACCI was born of a family whose roots in Italian ceramics date to the 1700s. The Fanciullaccis had collaborated with the Richard-Ginori porcelain company in Sesto Fiorentino (a municipality of Florence) since its 1737 founding. They were so invested in the concern that when its founder, Carlo Ginori, died in 1757, they attempted to wrest control from his son Lorenzo. Carlo’s widow, Mariana Garzoni Venturi, thwarted the coup and acted as interim manager until the minor Lorenzo came of age.

The most artistically important Fanciullacci at Ginori during the 18th and early 19th centuries was arguably Giovanni Battista Fanciullacci. He joined the company as a miniaturist and porcelain painter in 1759 and rose to head the painting department in 1772. He was named factory director in 1806, retiring two decades later. His rare works are highly coveted by collectors today.

In 1862 (sometimes 1858 is cited), Raffaello Fanciullacci (1803-1881), another former Ginori factory director, established his own pottery in nearby Capraia Fiorentino: Ceramiche Capraia. The new company initially produced simple, utilitarian wares. Raffaello was joined by his son Demetrio in the late 1870s, and subsequently by Demetrio’s four sons. By 1880, the pottery officially became FRATELLI FANCIULLACCI, i.e., the Bros. Fanciullacci.

In 1911, with the arrival of the Florence-Pisa railroad, operations moved from Capraia to nearby Montelupo. The new line provided easy, inexpensive transport to vital Italian cities, and the relocation was such a boon that, by 1914, the company had over 1,000 different molds. FANCIULLACCI’s offerings were among Italy’s most appealing, and the pottery became the area’s largest employer.

During the remaining decades of the first half of the 20th century, the firm slowly branched into a rich repertoire of artistic products; the golden age for FRATELLI FANCIULLACCI blossomed. The family famously stayed in sync with the pulse of both Italian and American (their main export destination) consumers. Work was produced almost immediately in the latest styles: Raffaellesco, Istoriati, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Futurism, Cubism, Modernism, and Avant-Garde.

FRATELLI FANCIULLACCI was one of the few ceramics factories able to operate throughout WWII. At war’s end, Colorificio, parent company of Bitossi Ceramiche, assumed control, though the family ran the business with little oversight. By the late 1950s, work was back up to full speed, and new international markets soon accounted for 90 percent of production.

Disaster struck on November 4, 1966, with a major flood of the Arno—the worst in over 400 years. It resulted in many deaths and the loss of countless art treasures and manuscripts. FRATELLI FANCIULLACCI was hard hit: priceless molds (some dating to its founding), all kilns, raw clay, and finished export stockpiles were destroyed. The company shut down for over a year, and many talented artists and craftsmen left for other work.

Production shifted to a temporary Florence plant while the Montelupo site was renovated. However, both output and quality suffered dramatically. FRATELLI FANCIULLACCI attempted to reestablish itself but never regained its former success. The company ceased all operations in 1988.

Reliable and Affordable Timekeeping for an Active Lifestyle
Color: Black/Gray
I recently purchased the Timex Unisex Ironman Classic 30 34mm Watch, and it has exceeded my expectations in terms of functionality, durability, and style. First and foremost, the watch's design is sleek and unisex, making it suitable for a variety of wrist sizes and both casual and sporty occasions. The 34mm face strikes a perfect balance, providing clear visibility of the time without feeling bulky on the wrist. One of the standout features of this timepiece is its reliability. The Ironman Classic 30 lives up to its name with a water resistance of up to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming and other water-based activities. The durable resin strap and casing can withstand the wear and tear of an active lifestyle, ensuring longevity. The watch's functionality is where it truly shines. The digital display is easy to read, and the Indiglo backlight is a game-changer in low-light conditions. The 30-lap memory is a handy feature for tracking workouts or laps in the pool, while the countdown timer and alarm add practicality for daily use. Setting and adjusting the time and date are straightforward, thanks to the user-friendly interface. The watch also offers a dual time zone feature, making it a great companion for travelers. Battery life is impressive, providing long-lasting performance without the need for frequent replacements. This is a crucial aspect for those who rely on their timepiece during outdoor adventures or extended periods away from a power source. In terms of value for money, the Timex Ironman Classic 30 delivers outstanding features at an affordable price point. Whether you're an athlete, fitness enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates a reliable timepiece, this watch is a solid investment. In conclusion, the Timex Unisex Ironman Classic 30 34mm Watch combines style, durability, and functionality seamlessly. It has become my go-to watch for both daily wear and active pursuits.

The Best for Athletics
Color: Black/Gray
This is a sleek, light wristwatch that will not weigh you down with its bulk. Forget the gigantic profile of a "survivalist" wristwatch. This unisex model is svelte and slim, not adding much to the wake you generate while swimming, or the swing of your arms while running, or the wind as it passes around your wrists and hands while you are speeding by on your racing bike. This is only 34mm across, by 35mm tall, by 11.5mm thick. The wristband is 13mm at its median working width. Timex styling cannot be beat, and neither is the resin-rubber-like material. I don't know about you, but the price is something I take a good look at. I want a watch that is reasonably priced and high-quality. I don't want to spend $200 to $1000 on a watch and worrying about being careful with it. If it gets smashed, it's only $30 to $50, not a big loss, and the quality is way better than what they were making in the 1980's. These watches are made for athletics and the real world.

Great watch, flimsy band
Color: Gray/Lilac
I bought this watch to replace a similar model because the band broke. I see this is a recurrent problem in many other reviews. However, I liked the watch enough to buy it again anyway. I found the new model easy to set, being fairly intuitive. So far it keeps perfect time. I use this watch mainly as a travel watch, and loved the dual time zone function. I am pleased that the newer model now has the ability to set 3 times zones instead of 2, which is an added bonus. The only con I see at this point is the flimsy strap. Unfortunately, the strap on this model is even thinner than on the previous one, and I wonder how long it will last. Also I wonder about the battery length. I think these watches may have been sitting around a long time. The setting showed 2012. I am afraid much of the battery life of the original battery may have already been used up and the battery may need replacing early. Only time will tell. The watch fits my small wrist fine and it is a little more attractive than the old model. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the band problem.

Fine for a man (with skinny wrists)
Color: Black/Gray, Color: Black/Gray
I have an older mens ironman which has gotten a little beat up and needs replacing. The band is much longer than I need. The metal clasp sits off-center on the underside of my wrist, closer to the part of my wrist which curves around to the front. The too-long strap sometimes flops around and catches on things. I couldn't find a smaller-band mens version, so I tried this "womens" watch (picking the most manly-looking one, of course). I like it better. The band fits my wrist much better, with the metal band in the middle and no flop. I also like that the watch is lighter and the face and band are smaller and less bulky, so it is less noticeable when I'm wearing it (cycling weight weenies will appreciate this). The face is still large enough to be easily legible and contains all of the same great features as my mens ironman watch, plus the newer versions now have an hourly chime, nice! Other info: my wrist is ~17.5cm or ~7.0" around. On this watch, I use the 6th out of 9 slots on the band. On my mens ironman, I use the 3rd out of 9 slots. Weight: this one = 28g, mens = 39g. Pics show comparison of my prior mens ironman with this new "womens" ironman. Photo order is confusing (couldn't figure out how to change that). They are: (1) side-by-side, mens on left, (2) mens band (wider and clasp is off-center on my wrist, end of band hangs over the edge of my wrist -- too long for me -- catches on things), (3) womens band (less wide, clasp is more centered on my wrist and end does hang over edge of my wrist), (3) womens watch (smaller, and looks new), and (5) mens watch, looking a little beat up.
