This vintage vase from Empoli, Italy, produced in the 1970s, is crafted from hand-blown, layered colored glass in a deep, vibrant cobalt blue. Its sculptural silhouette, with a pronounced waist and gently flared neck, is characteristic of mid-century modern and Italian retro design. A clear glass handle, applied by hand with visible attachment points, forms a striking contrast against the rich blue body. The surface is glossy and mirror-like, enhancing the intensity of the color and reflecting light from every angle. The vase measures approximately 23 cm in height, with a maximum diameter of 10 cm and a 5 cm top opening. The base is subtly rounded, and the glass is perfectly smooth and uniform. The condition is very good, with no visible chips, cracks, or signs of heavy use – the vase retains its original finish and authentic vintage character. This piece embodies the spirited energy of Italian modernism in the 1970s, telling the story of an era when color and silhouette became declarations of everyday style. The cobalt surface speaks of the boldness of Empoli's glassmakers, unafraid to embrace saturated, almost hypnotic hues. The clear handle adds a note of visual lightness, as if created to let light—and the eye—move freely around the fluid, sculptural form. Though understated in detail, the vase radiates optimism and the artisanal precision of Italian glassmaking. In an interior, the Empoli vase can serve as a focal point on a living room console
