About the Item
A unique Empoli cased glass gulvase type vessel. After checking with eminent glass collectors, this has been identified as Italian glass from Empoli, definitively not Scandinavian. It is still spectacularly attractive and fun.
The decoration on this vase consists of layered and swirled coloured glass in ocres and blues, over a cased white glass background. It is a very attractive effect and was probably based on the work of Michael Bang and his popular Sakura range of vases and lamps from the 1960s-1970s.
Being Empoli glass, it is of lesser technical excellence than Scandinavian glass and there are some production faults. For instance, a slightly off center neck and lip.
We've also tried to illustrate in the final two images, the colored glass has delaminated as it cooled, creating splits between the background glass and the coloured glass in a couple of places. These delaminated areas are narrow - maybe 3 mm across and not deep. One of them has a tiny speck of glass missing. They are, however, stable. If treated with normal care, avoiding knocks, they will not delaminate any further.
Finally, there is an illegible remnant sticker to the base of the bottle.
