I picked up this beauty at a garage sale. I don't know much about it beyond it's label stating "Florentine Original, Made in Italy" and I'm relatively sure it's smoked glass, hand blown. I would appreciate if anyone could give me more in-depth information about it.

Thanks!

Aka genii bottle, made in Empoli (which is in Firenze province) some time in the seventies.

I have never seen one with a label before. I can't tell from your photos, what sort of textured pattern does it have?

A few more examples in this thread: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,38224.msg210699.html#msg210699

It's a bit like disturbed water pattern. i.e. ripples meeting and crashing, etc. Thanks for the information all.

It looks like one of the popular types of bottle made by Rossini.
