This red Empoli vase from the 1960s exemplifies Italian hand-blown glass in the mid-century modern style. The vibrant, ruby-red body forms an elegant chalice shape with a pronounced bulbous midsection and a wide, flared rim. The slender stem and rounded base are crafted from clear glass, while a playful, ruffled band encircles the widest point, introducing a light, rhythmic accent. Sculpted details on the stem and the clarity of the glass highlight the craftsmanship for which Empoli is renowned. The surface is smooth and highly polished, with no visible signs of wear, restoration, or damage. The vase is preserved in excellent condition. This vase echoes the optimism of 1960s Italy—a time when light, color, and expressive forms defined a new design language. The red glass radiates vibrant energy, as if capturing the essence of summer sunlight. The ruffled band and organic lines evoke the atmosphere of Italian glass studios, where artistic freedom met technical precision. It is an object that quietly tells the story of an era when even everyday items bore the imprint of their age—bold, decorative, and full of life. The vase can be paired with other glassware from the 1960s or minimalist ceramics to create a textural contrast. It would look striking on an oak console or a marble tabletop, where the interplay of light will enhance its luminous red hue. Interiors in mid-century modern style, with natural wood and a neutral palette, will bring out the collectible character of Empoli glass. The piece also works beautifully as a single, colorful accent in a contemporary space or as part of a curated vintage glass collection. The listed price is for one piece.
