Empoli / Florentine? Confirmation please
« on: March 17, 2012, 05:37:00 PM »
I think this is Florentine/Empoli?

I have a few other pieces that have a similar finish and feel - and have seen lots online - but not quite the same as this. Can anyone confirm? Has anyone seen one with a sticker?

Thanks.

I agree that it looks like the style of Empoli glass that was made in the 1970s. I have pictures of some vases with the balloton pattern and the same shade of green. None are this exact shape, but they have the same style rim.

My thoughts exactly, Anita. I've listed it for sale as Empoli as there are too many similarities to list it anything else!

Thanks for chipping in.
