Italian Empoli Teardrop Art Glass Vase — Blue, 17.5" H

Italian Empoli art glass teardrop vase with paneled bowl, footed base, and vibrant mid‑century blue—handblown in Empoli, Italy, circa 1960s–1970s.

This striking Empoli vase pairs a teardrop silhouette and paneled bowl with a sturdy footed base, the saturated blue color and handblown construction typical of Empoli studio glass from the 1960s and 1970s. The paneled bowl catches light across its facets while the footed base gives the piece presence on a mantel or console. Condition note: there is a small chip on the inside rim; otherwise the surface and color remain vibrant. Size is approximately 17.5" tall with a 6" diameter at the widest point.
