    These Empoli Glass Opaline Florence set of Mid Century vases, handcrafted in Italy circa the 1950s, represent a beautiful example of vintage Italian glassware. Empoli, in Tuscany region, Italy, has a long tradition of glassmaking, and the Empoli glassworks were known for producing high-quality glass items during the mid-20th century.

Italian artisans have long been revered for their skill in glassmaking, and their techniques have been passed down through generations. These Mid Century pastel-colored vases are not only functional pieces but also works of art that capture the essence of the era's design aesthetic. Their delicate hues and elegant forms make them versatile additions to any interior decor scheme, whether displayed individually or as a set.
