Glass Stopper

Not a blenko. Ground a bit but nothing like the verified ones.

Still a fun, pretty addition to a stopper collection and a backup stopper when you need one.


Possible makers and age range would be wonderful to learn.

looking at the colour and elongated shape perhaps Empoli might be worth investigating?  I'm not sure how the finish fits in with Empoli though.  How big is the stopper?

It rang the same bells for me too, an Empoli example here: https://a.1stdibscdn.com/archivesE/1stdibs/050114/NestInteriors_CC_DM/01/X.jpg

The stopper is 5 1/2" in length.

Thank you both for the suggestion. I will check Empoli and see what I can learn.
