Vetro Verde Glass Cat Sculpture by Toso et Bagnoli, Empoli, 1950s

By Empoli, Vetro Verde di Empoli

Located in Glasgow, GB

A Vetro Verde glass cat sculpture by Toso et Bagnoli, hand-crafted in the Empoli region of Italy during the 1950s. Executed in rich emerald-green glass, this whimsical feline is among the firm's most celebrated decorative creations and represents the playful innovation of post-war Italian glassmaking. The sculpture is constructed from three individually worked elements, with the arched body incorporating all four legs and decorated with a spiral trail of controlled internal bubbles suspended within the glass. The expressive head and tall upright tail are expertly hot-applied by hand, while the face is completed with applied white and black glass eyes, a small nose and delicate whiskers, demonstrating the skill of the Empoli artisans. During the 1950s, Toso et Bagnoli became renowned for producing imaginative animal sculptures and decorative objects in Vetro Verde, the distinctive emerald-green glass for which the Empoli district became internationally recognised. Their work reflected the optimism and creativity of post-war Italian design and was produced alongside collaborations with some of Italy's leading designers, most notably Gio Ponti. The significance of these whimsical sculptures is reflected by the inclusion of this exact cat model in the permanent collection of the Museo del Vetro di Empoli...

Empoli Amber Glass Decanter Set, Wayne Husted, Italy, 1950s

By Stelvia, Empoli, Wayne Husted

Located in Valencia, VC

A collection of five Empoli amber glass pieces produced by the Stelvia Glass Workshop in Italy during the 1950s–1960s. Three of the decanters are attributed to designs by American glass artist Wayne Husted, created for the American market. Two examples retain the “Made in Italy” mark often associated with these exports. The group includes four decanters with stoppers and one apothecary or candy jar. All pieces are handmade using the pressed or molded glass technique characteristic of Empoli production, and feature the warm amber tone typical of Stelvia glass from this period. Condition is very good overall. One stopper has a small hairline crack at the base, which is stable and barely visible unless closely examined. Dimensions (tallest to shortest) Decanter: 18.9 in H (48 cm) Decanter: 17.7 in H (45 cm) Candy / apothecary jar: 11.4 in H (29 cm) “Grapes” decanter...

1960s Purple Glass Set of Ten Italian Empoli Genie Bottles, Vases and Candy Jars

1960s Purple Glass Set of Ten Italian Empoli Genie Bottles, Vases and Candy Jars

Located in Haarlem, NL

Very decorative aubergine, amethist, plum coloured purple set of ten different size and colour Italian art glass bottles, vases and apothecary or candy jars. Mention Italian glass and probably everyone’s mind immediately leaps to Venice and Murano. But there is another almost equally famous centre of Italian glass making known as Empoli. Empoli glass is generally much simpler and does not have the intricately applied trim or decorations associated with Venetian and Murano pieces. The simple traditional styles of Empoli glass were quickly adapted to the abstract shapes of mid 20th century modernism. It became hugely popular as a decorative home accent, and was exported across the world. Now they are highly sought after by international collectors and look beautiful arranged together. This set consists of three pressed genie bottles and seven blown glass items. The bottles have their stopper and all items are different in design, shape and size (height with stopper): Large striped swirl genie bottle, pressed glass, 53cm high, ø 13.5cm (20.9"x5.3") Diamond design pressed 'genie' bottle, pressed glass, 55cm high, ø 13cm diameter (21.7"x5.1") Angular 4 sided genie bottle with dancing women, pressed glass, 48cm high, 15x15cm depth and width (18.9"x5.9") Carafe with clear handle and foot, without stopper, marked, made in Italy, blown glass, 38cm high, ø 13cm (15"x5.1") Large cognac glass, blown glass, 27cm high, ø 18cm (10.6"x7.1") Small cognac glass, blown glass, 23cm high, ø 13cm (9.1"5.1") Optic bubble small vase on clear foot, blown glass, clear glass foot, 22cm high, ø 10cm (8.7"x3.9") Small long vase with swirl design, blown glass, 25cm high, ø 8cm (9.8"x 3.1") Bonbon or candy jar with clear foot and handle, blown glass, 24cm high, ø 11cm (9.5"x4.3") Small bonbon or candy jar with clear foot and handle, blown glass, 16cm high, ø 11cm (6.3"x4.3") Like Murano glass in the 1950s-1960s the great majority of Empoli glass was marked only with relatively generic “Made in Italy” paper or foil label. Over time, many of the original labels have fallen off and the majority of Empoli MCM glass...
