Empoli Blue Diamond Optic Glass Bowl Lg Brandy Snifter Vase MCM Italy Vintage 9"

LARGE Vintage Blown Empoli Glass, Italy Glass Blowers Brandy Snifter Vase in an Optic Pattern that Refracts the Light - Gorgeous Vivid Color! This vintage Empoli blue optic glass pedestal bowl brandy snifter measures approximately 9 tall. This handsome piece of glass was sourced from a Mid-Century estate and it is in excellent condition with no found damage. It may have been used for brandy, but there is no evidence that it was used for anything that would have affected the glass surface. Always hand-washed, no hardwater or candle wax residue - clean! A great piece to use as intended, or to hold a candle or trinkets. I have a similar one on my bar filled with peanuts. Lots of uses! The blue aqua color is through and through, it is not a flashed-on surface color. The optic pattern lets light refract in many directions and sparkle! It blends in beautifully with MCM swung vases and genie bottles as the glass color and its retro Italian style.
