Celosa Oranges, Spanish Crate Label

This Spanish citrus crate label transforms commercial advertising into bold graphic art. Produced for the Morell family's orange export business in Oliva, Valencia, the design captures the exuberance of mid-century Spanish commercial printing at its finest. The composition radiates energy: a luminous Valencia orange floats against a celestial backdrop of light beams and scattered stars, while the brand name 'Celosa' (meaning 'jealous' in Spanish) stretches across the lower portion in dramatic three-dimensional lettering. The oversized decorative 'C' in warm orange tones creates a visual echo of the fruit itself. Printed by Cart. Suñer of Alcira, a center of citrus label production, the chromolithography achieves remarkable depth through careful color gradation. A standout piece for collectors of vintage advertising or those drawn to the visual language of Mediterranean commerce. The design bridges functional packaging with genuine artistic expression, embodying an era when even produce crates demanded attention. Size: 8.5" x 10.25" Condition: Very Good, Age-appropriate wear.
