ABOUT PRODUCTID 5688
This Empoli carafe from 1960s Italy exemplifies the peak of Italian mid-century modern glassmaking. Its tall, slender neck and bulbous body are crafted from hand-blown, milky opaque white glass with a lustrous, glossy surface that captures and reflects light, lending the vessel a sculptural, refined presence. The striking handle and wide, stable base are made from vibrant, transparent turquoise glass—both elements shaped by hand, with visible ribbing and fluid, organic contours. The harmonious interplay of color and transparency is characteristic of mid-century Italian design. The carafe shows no signs of wear, damage, or restoration and has been preserved in excellent condition. This vessel speaks in the language of Italian modernism—Empoli glass forms were created to elevate the beauty of simplicity. The milky white body evokes the glow of a Tuscan morning, while the turquoise handle and base appear like captured drops of color, lending lightness and vibrancy. Its organic lines and sculptural detail tell the story of an era where craftsmanship and the pursuit of harmony intertwined, and this piece seems to invite a celebration of the everyday with a touch of Italian finesse. The carafe can be used as a functional vessel or as a decorative accent on a console, sideboard, or dining table. It fits seamlessly into mid-century modern interiors, especially when paired with other glass objects—such as Murano vases or minimalist ceramics—for a cohesive composition. In spaces with a neutral palette, its turquoise details stand out beautifully; in more eclectic settings
