Large turquoise carafe/decanter- just an unique object I've obtained.
Height: 63 cm and contour below 45 cm.

Probably from the sixties and it is said Hungarian, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know anything about it perhaps?
Thank you in regard!

Empoli, from Italy.
These are lovely. I've got a collection of tall coloured stoppered Empoli botttles on top of my kitchen cupboards. They make a wonderful"skyline".

I should also have said there are ;pts of different designs of these bottles, and there are sort of two categories of quality. One better than the other, and this is one of the better ones.
The slightly less lovely ones have a somewhat more crude moulded texture, the tops often have the same texture as the base.
I've attached a pic of my first row of bottles.
(I have since got a new kitchen and upgraded several of them to the better quality kind)

Thank you for sending that wonderful photo of your Empoli collection in your kitchen, fantastic!

If the stoppers are loose they can be fixed in place with a little bit of blu-tac. Not very sophisticated, but it works.
The stoppers often came with a plastic bit around them to hold them securely, which often comes to grief or is missing.
They're very colourful and cheerful.
