Eight 1960s Blue Italian Empoli Rossini Glass Decanters

About the Item

Colorful set of 8 glass decanters with geometric design, made by one of the many glass manufacturers based in the region of Empoli, Italy. Has "Made in Italy" embossed on the base. Would make a great addition to any collection! Excellent mint condition, no chips. One in a kind matching set. Spectacular set of eight 1960s blue Italian Empoli pressed and blown glass. 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, a region where there were many glass companies, on the west side of Italy, southwest of Florence, has been producing and exporting glass since the 14th century. The trademark color "Empoli blue" known as “Empoli Blue" was created from the iron that occurred locally in the sands of the Empoli region. 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 different in design, shape and size (height with stopper). Dimensions; Largest Height: 27.5" - 70 cm Diameter: 6.2" - 16 cm Smallest Height: 21.2" - 54 cm Diameter: 4.3" - 11 cm 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 now is unmarked.
