Cobalt blue hand-blown glass from Empoli, Tuscany — the Italian glassmaking town that spent the 1950s and 60s producing some of the most dramatic decorative glass ever made — in a tall, elegant form with a spherical body, a long swan-neck, and a trefoil spout that tips ever so slightly to one side. Not a flaw. Proof that a human being made this by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gold decoration is applied in a bold sunburst pattern across the shoulder and a fine line around the foot rim — both showing honest wear consistent with sixty years of admiration. The original twisted flame stopper is present and fits perfectly, its spiralling form echoing the drama of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 42cm tall, this is a statement piece. Put it on a shelf, fill it with water and watch the light do the rest, or use it as the world's most glamorous flower vase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Empoli, Tuscany, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: hand-blown cobalt blue glass with gold decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: c.1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 42 x 11 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 717 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: original twisted flame glass stopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: vintage; gold decoration with wear; mouth very slightly asymmetric — characteristic of hand-blown glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place this on any surface and it immediately becomes the most interesting thing in the room.
