Set of Two Large Antique Molded and Hand-Finished Aqua Glass Spirits Bottles
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Set of two American ca. 1910 spirits/wine bottles, both aqua/turquoise tinted with hand-finished details.
The one on the left was made via dip molding, evidenced by the glass discontinuity formed by the top of the dip mold.
The one on the right is a post-bottom mold-blown bottle. It shows seams, but, like the bottle on the left, the neck and top were hand-finished revealed by the uneven bottle lip and trapped air bubbles.
The aforementioned discontinuity (cloudiness) within the left bottle is a product of manufacturing, but there is additional wear (mineral residue, a couple of chips within the glass itself, along with scuffs / general wear). Both have been cleaned, so existing wear cannot be further rectified.
Remains a wonderful set of early 20th Century American glass spirits bottles...

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 Vases and Vessels
For thousands of years, vases and vessels have had meaningful functional value in civilizations all over the world. In Ancient Greece, ceramic vessels were used for transporting water and dry goods, holding bouquets of flowers, for storage and more. Outside of utilitarian use, in cities such as Athens, vases were a medium for artistic expression — pottery was a canvas for artists to illustrate their cultures’ unique people, beliefs and more. And pottery skills were handed down from fathers to sons.
Every antique and vintage vase and vessel, from decorative Italian urns to French 19th-century Louis XVI–style lidded vases, carries with it a rich, layered story.
On 1stDibs, there is a vast array of vases and vessels in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes. Our collection features vessels made from delicate materials such as ceramic and glass as well as durable materials like rustproof metals and stone.
A contemporary vase can help introduce an air of elegance to your minimalist space while an antique Chinese jar would make a luxurious addition to an Asian-inspired interior. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a statement piece, consider an Art Deco vase crafted by Italian architect and furniture designer Gio Ponti.
Vases and vessels — be they handmade pots, handblown glass wine bottles or otherwise — are versatile, practical decorative objects, and no matter your particular design preferences, furniture style or color scheme, they can add beauty and warmth to any home. Find yours on 1stDibs today.
