About the Item

A vibrant cobalt blue glass vase from Empoli, Italy, crafted circa 1970s. Formed in cased glass, the vase features an inner layer of opaque white glass overlaid with luminous cobalt blue, creating depth and vivid colour saturation. Tall and slender, it presents a subtly flared rim above a pedestal base, all seamlessly moulded as one piece. Measuring 25 cm in height with a diameter of 7.5 cm. In good condition for its age and use, showing one minuscule nip to the outer lip, visible upon close inspection. An elegant example of vintage Empoli glass, well-suited to interiors favouring bold colour accents and mid-century Italian design.
