Title: Pale pink bottle vase with opalescent foot - ID = Opalina Fiorentina, Empoli
Post by: Anne E.B. on January 21, 2009, 05:02:47 PM

Can anyone help with this one please?  Is it Italian or could it be English :huh:  Approx. 12" high, its a lovely pale pink colour (not cased) with applied opalescent foot.  When held to a light source, or just merely placed in a well lit window, the foot has a fiery glow.  It has a neat tool mark on the base.  This one really has me baffled.
TIA :)

That's a particularly nice Opalina Fiorentina, from Empoli. Circa 1960s.
