Water Bottle
WATER BOTTLE:
California Springs - water bottle - 800 milliliter / 28 ounce capacity - LDPE construction - Black and White with Green Pino International, Ltd. (Pino Morroni) logo markings - model 12-C28 ... [This water bottle is actually a modern 28 ounce California Springs version of LDPE construction to which I have affixed reproduction Pino Morroni logo stickers. I had never seen nor heard tell of a truly vintage water bottle that was in any way, shape, or form adorned with one of his various logo schemes, until Mark Agree sent along to my attentions a series of photographs depicting a bright Yellow circa 1980’s handlebar mounted aero profile bottle manufactured by Ambrosio having a Green imprinted Pino logo with his signature trio of mice along two of its three sides. Still, I am of the mind that the replica decals I had made, which are based upon artwork which Pino employed in the late 1970’s through mid 1980’s, look quite apropos when affixed to a more traditional water bottle as in the example seen here.]
