Vintage Green Glass Vase realized by a manufacture in Northern Europe in 1970s. Very good condition.

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...

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...
