Topic: Oversized Brandy Glasses/Balloon Vases

[Connie]

I am with Ivo on the Empoli attribution.

These oversized brandy snifters were very popular in the 1970s.  No modern home in the US in the 70s was complete without one.  My parents still have one in Mediterrean Blue in their formal living room.

I think as these homes go to estate sales we will see a lot more of them in the US.

Hi Bidda,

You might find this link useful (if it works!).  You can cut and paste Italian into the box and press a button and it will give you an "interesting" version in English.............

It works for lots of languages - I'm quite surprised how often I use it!
