Empoli again. This form of decoration is very common for them.

I have never even heard of this glass. I just thought my pieces were very different and pretty. Do you think they are the real thing. Look well made and bought from a high end place with other high end stuff.
Please say yes.  :huh:
Thank you. Now I have a new name to look for.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the real thing." If you mean are they nice glass from the Empoli area of Italy, yes. If you put "Empoli glass" into Google, you may be able to find some similar pieces.

There is a pitcher like yours that has labels on eBay right now. It is Item 170413332864. The labels identify the glass as opaline Florence glass. Florence is very near Empoli, so the glass is often lumped into the category of Empoli. It is always nice to find a piece with a label.
