Picked up this in an interesting collection I bought today from a woman whose sister owned a glass and china shop. Most of the items are old stock were stored in her loft. Although this piece may not have come from the shop.

This is clear and white glass, frosted all over with two transfers.

It's big, about 14". The biggest oversize brandy glass I have.

Transfer work on satinated glass is usually from China.  Never seen anything like this from Empoli,

Thanks Ivo,

I thought I has seen something similar on Wayne's site but couldn't find it ... so ask the question here.

The sparrows (before declared an Enemy of the People) and the peonies are very Chinese.
