This art glass decanter features a globular silhouette and a smooth, vitrified texture, offering a playful aesthetic for curated barware displays. 

A striking example of mid-century Italian craftsmanship, the vessel is rendered in a deep, saturated cobalt blue that transforms under direct light. The body is elegantly balanced by a clear, twisted glass pedestal and a matching swept handle, showcasing the technical skill and whimsical flair synonymous with the glassblowers of the Empoli region.

Standing at 11 inches, the decanter’s elongated neck and bold color profile make it a versatile statement piece. While originally designed to hold spirits, its open-top form and sculptural handles allow it to transition seamlessly into a modern carafe or a unique floral vase. Whether grouped with other colorful glass or standing alone on a sunlit ledge, it remains a reverent nod to the vibrant, optimistic design language of the 1960s.

This item is vintage, approximately 60 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
