Empoli Italy MCM Hand Blown Swung Pineapple Glass Vase Ice Blue, 19. Pale icy blue art glass, flared and pulled into a ribbed teardrop base with a softly swung neck. Looks incredible with tall branches or left empty like a modernist sculpture.
Great vintage condition consistent with its age - no chips, cracks or damages. Pictures are part of the description, please check them & let me know if you require additional ones. Defects & imperfections - please check pictures made under the bright light & magnification: very light surface scratches, scuffs, you'll find them if you actively look for them, otherwise unnoticeable.
The "pineapple" texture on the base is a hallmark of Empoli design, often seen in smoky greens and blues. Empoli glass was blown in the Tuscan town of - you guessed it - Empoli, just outside Florence. It's known for bold shapes, dreamy translucent colors, and a more relaxed vibe than its flashy Murano cousins. Dimensions: 1.5 x 19 in. Weight: 4 lb 9 oz.
