A sculptural showpiece that adds instant vibrancy to any bar or display shelf.

This brilliant cobalt blue decanter captures the geometric precision and playful modernism of mid-century Italian glass design. Handcrafted in the Empoli region of Italy—renowned for its art glass production—the piece showcases the iconic diamond point (or hobnail) pattern, creating a prismatic surface that catches and refracts light beautifully.

The cylindrical body is topped by a matching faceted stopper that fits snugly into the neck, completing its elongated, architectural silhouette. The deeply saturated blue hue is one of Empoli’s most coveted colors, evoking the elegance of Mediterranean waters and mid-century Italian design flair.

Perfect as a functional decanter or as a decorative statement piece, it pairs beautifully with other textured glass or modern barware.

Unmarked, as typical of Empoli production. Circa 1960s–1970s.
