Title: bottle green vase - ID = Empoli verde
Post by: Paul S. on January 04, 2012, 08:17:56 PM

the shape made me think of Scandi., but there's no clear casing, although the rim is fire polished  -  poor quality ground pontil, and some wear that might indicate reasonable age.    Substantial stone/dirt grains in the glass, so overall not a quality piece, and height is about 10.5"/270mm.     I suspect not a lot of mileage in this one, but someone may have an idea of origins, and thanks for looking. :)
