Tortoiseshell Glass

Each piece is mouth-blown in Empoli's signature tortoiseshell-patterned art glass—a swirling, organic motif of amber and espresso tones that evokes the richness of natural horn.

The ensemble includes a generously rounded decanter with a wide neck, paired with four matching cups, all executed in hand-blown glass featuring a striking tortoiseshell pattern.

The inlay of the pair of tortoiseshell glasses is probably inspired by the artist's actual pair, as we see him wearing these glasses in a photo taken by Sabine Weiss in 1954.
