Elegant mid-century Italian art glass vase crafted in the Empoli region of Tuscany, known for its luminous color and refined optic swirl pattern. The cobalt blue tone—often called Empoli Blue—is one of the most collectible hues produced by Empoli glassworks during the 1960s–1970s.

This hand-blown piece features subtle ribbed texture, a flared rim, and a polished pontil base, all indicators of authentic Empoli craftsmanship. Beautiful as a standalone statement or as part of a mid-century glass display.
