Leonora Carrington’s market is blazing. In the artist's later years she designed an otherworldly decanter for 1800Tequila. Now it's on auction for the first time, exclusively on BlockBar:

Leonora Carrington, the visionary first-wave Surrealist whose allegorical work mined the dreamscape, cosmos, and soul, is now entering the metaverse.

In 2009, at age 91, Carrington teamed up with the luxury spirits maker 1800 Tequila to design a limited-edition decanter to house the brand’s 1800 Colección rare extra añejo blend. More totem than decanter, she christened the eerily beautiful silver vessel ‘El Rey del Tequila,’ and like many of her sculptures, it looks like an ancient, mystical relic. Only 15 were produced and none were sold publicly—until now.
