This vase from the Empoli glassworks exemplifies Italian design from the 1970s, expressed in the spirit of mid-century modern. The body is crafted from deeply colored, opaque pink glass, finished to a high-gloss sheen with a perfectly smooth, textureless surface. Its most distinctive feature is the elegantly twisted, hand-formed handle made of clear glass, with a ribbed, spiral structure that subtly contrasts with the sleek main form. The silhouette is defined by a wide, flared rim, a gently tapering neck, and a harmonious, bulbous base. All elements remain original and show no signs of restoration or repair. The vase is in very good condition, with no visible damage, chips, or traces of wear. The vase embodies the lightness and cheerful spirit of Italian modernism from the 1970s. The satin pink glass reflects light, evoking memories of bright afternoons along the Tiber or Tuscan interiors, where color conveyed optimism and playful energy. The twisted, transparent handle recalls the craftsman's gesture, merging utility with artistry. The form itself narrates a story of Italian imagination—a nod to traditional pitchers, reinterpreted in a modern, balanced silhouette. This piece can be displayed solo on a walnut sideboard or combined with other vintage glassware from the 1960s and 1970s to highlight its color and luster. It would work well as a focal point on a mid-century modern coffee table, but also in more eclectic interiors with Memphis-inspired accents or light ceramics. It may be paired with greenery in simple arrangements, or left
