A vintage handblown cobalt blue art glass ewer or pitcher, likely of Italian (Empoli or Murano) origin from the mid-20th century. It is characterized by its vibrant color, optic swirl or twisted design in the neck, a bulbous base, and applied glass handle and feet.
> Origin & Era: These pieces are often attributed to Empoli, Tuscany, Italy, and date back to the 1950s-1970s.
> Design Features: The ewer features a distinctive swan-neck shape with a flared spout and a decorative applied handle. The applied "rigaree" feet help it stand stably.
> Technique: Each piece is hand-blown, meaning slight variations in size, color, and design are typical, adding to its unique character.
Pre-owned in single family, very good vintage condition. Glass contains inclusions and air bubbles natural to the glass-blowing process. One of the petal feet is chipped, but not visible (see bottom photos) and does not affect stability of piece.
