Ten MCM 1960s Teal Blue Italian Empoli Genie Bottles, Vases and Apothecary Jars
Located in Haarlem, NL
Very decorative blue set of ten different size Italian blown and pressed glass bottles.
Two pressed genie bottles, a pressed bird design carafe, a pressed square carafe, a pressed fish carafe, two blown cognac glasses as vase and three 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.
All bottles have their stopper and are slightly different in colour, design, shape and size (height with stopper):
Pressed 'wrinkled' glass genie bottle, 59cm high, Ø 11cm (23.2"x4,3")
Pressed 'wrinkled' glass genie bottle, 57cm high, Ø 11cm (22.4"x4,3")
Light blue pressed glass fish bottle, 40cm high, 10cm wide, 7cm deep (15,8"x3.9"x2.8")
Square pressed carafe with ball stopper and bird design 34cm high, 14cm wide, 5cm deep (13.4"x5.5"x1.96")
High apothecary or candy jar, blown glass, 34cm high, Ø 13cm (13.4"x5.1")
Light blue large cognac glass 33cm high, Ø 21cm ( 13", 8.3")
Lower apothecary or candy jar, blown glass, 27cm high, Ø 15cm (10,6"x5,9)
Dark blue smaller cognac glass 27cm high, Ø 19 (10.6"x7.5")
Square pressed carafe with square stopper 27cm high, 15cm wide, 6cm deep (10.6"x5,9"x3,92.4")
Small clear apothecary or candy jar, blown glass, 24cm high, Ø 10cm (9.5"x3.9")
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...

Antique, New and Vintage Decorative Objects
Every time you move into a house or an apartment — or endeavor to refresh the home you’ve lived in for years — life for that space begins anew. The right home accent, be it the simple placement of a decorative bowl on a shelf or a ceramic vase for fresh flowers, can transform an area from drab to spectacular. But with so many materials and items to choose from, it’s easy to get lost in the process. The key to styling with decorative objects is to work toward making a happy home that best reflects your personal style.
Ceramics are a versatile addition to any home. If you’ve amassed an assortment of functional pottery over the years, think of your mugs and salad bowls as decorative objects, ideal for displaying in a glass cabinet. Vintage ceramic serveware can pop along white open shelving in your dining area, while large stoneware pitchers paired with woven baskets or quilts in an open cupboard can introduce a rustic farmhouse-style element to your den.
Translucent decorative boxes or bowls made of an acrylic plastic called Lucite — a game changer in furniture that’s easy to clean and lasts long — are modern accents that are neutral enough to dress up a coffee table or desktop without cluttering it. If you’re showcasing pieces from the past, a vintage jewelry box for displaying your treasures can spark conversation. Where is the jewelry box from? Is there a story behind it?
Abstract sculptures or an antique vessel for your home library can draw attention to your book collection and add narrative charm to the most appropriate of corners. There’s more than one way to style your bookcases, and decorative objects add a provocative dynamic. “I love magnifying glasses,” says Alex Assouline, global vice president of luxury publisher Assouline, of adding one’s cherished objects to a home library. “They are both useful and decorative. Objects really elevate libraries and can also make them more personal.”
To help with personalizing your space and truly making it your own, find an extraordinary collection of decorative objects on 1stDibs.
