Note the calming green color, just above the clear pedestal—in contrast to the bulbous shapes and explosive coloring of light and dark blue “confetti/splatter” designs, on the main body of the vase—ending in a “ruffled” lip, at its opening! WOW!
This vase would not only light up a dark corner, but you could only imagine the spectacle it would create in a sunny area!
Empoli glass is a type of Italian glass that has been produced in the town of Empoli, Italy, since the 14th century. In the 1950s and 60s, Empoli glass became particularly well-known for its vibrant colors and distinctive shapes. During this time period, the artists seldom signed their work—but there is no denying the Empoli glassblowers’ design style and vibrant colors! See less
