The Cup Where Texture meets Design … “Fossile”, cup #04692
You are bidding on one of my favorite cups in the illy Collection which is the “Fossile” cup by artist Paolo Rossetti.The design and texture of this cup is so unique.It will make a perfect addition to your collection.
This unique cup comes with the original box and two original brochures.Please note that this listing does not include the two cans of coffee which were originally in this box.This is the way I purchased this set myself.
About the artist:Paolo Rossetti was born in Milan in 1960. Art director in 1983, he founded the Testa Pella Rossetti Pubblicità advertising agency with two other partners. In 1990, the company merged with the international network, Bozell. In 1996, he chose a freelance career in design and communication.
About the Cup:
Rossetti designed this original cup, where for the first time the rough texture of the cup replaces the decoration. With Fossile – Fossil the creator invites us to reflect on the passing of time, during that fleeting moment as we are sipping our coffee.

Illy Collection 101
If you are just starting collecting ILLY cups, here are some things you should know before you start your own collection. Remember … an educated bidder is a smart bidder.
·The difference between "illy collection" and "illy espresso"- "illy collection" or "illy espresso" is usually inscribed inside the cup.Cups with "illy collection" inscription are usually considered as the real collection cups.Cups with "illy espresso" are also known as "bar cups".These cups are usually for restaurant use.
·The difference between "illy collection" and "amici collection"- Amici is the name that Illy uses in Switzerland.The founder of Illy sold his name in Switzerland to another coffee maker.For most of the cups, both illy and amici collections share the same design.As always, there are few exceptions.
·Number and Signature - Cups with "illy collection" inscriptions usually come with designer's signature and a unique number.The signature and number usually are placed on the bottom of the cup.
·Box and Brochure - It is always a plus to have the cups coming with the original gift box and brochure.Some vendors sell Illy cups in cardboard and/or Styrofoam boxes without telling you those are not "gift" box. Not all collections have a gift box, especially the early collections.The bottom line is to make sure that you ask if the cups are in the real "gift box" not just simply a box.
·Special / Limited Edition - Almost each year a few of the designs are made for special events or exhibitions.Some of these cups / sets are limited with different inscription inside the cups.Those cups are harder to find since they are not mass produced.
