McConnico, a visionary designer who transitioned from high fashion (YSL) to set design and fine crystal, created the <i data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"260\">Cactus<\/i> series in the late 1980s. It remains his most celebrated collaboration, blending the stark geometry of a clear crystal vessel with the organic, textured whimsy of a green <i data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"438\">p\u00e2te de verre<\/i> (glass paste) cactus stopper.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">This decanter is not merely functional barware; it is a piece of diplomatic history. Pieces from this specific collection were chosen by the French government as official state gifts, symbolizing the intersection of American grit and French refinement. With its vibrant green stopper providing a shocking pop of color against the crystalline body, this decanter serves as a brilliant focal point for any high-end modern collection.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\"><b data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Specifications:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"13\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Designer:<\/b> Hilton McConnico (American\/French, 1943\u20132018)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Manufacturer:<\/b> Daum France<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Circa:<\/b> 1990<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Medium:<\/b> Clear Lead Crystal with Green P\u00e2te de Verre Stopper<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,4,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Dimensions:<\/b> Approximately 11.75&#8243; H x 3.75&#8243; W<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,5,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Authentication:<\/b> Acid-etched signature &#8220;Daum France&#8221; and &#8220;Hilton McConnico&#8221; on the base.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Americal Eclectic is honored to present an icon of Postmodern design: the &#8220;Cactus&#8221; Decanter by Hilton McConnico for Daum, France.
