Sometimes described as genie bottles, they came in lots of shapes and colours, intended to be decorative only I believe.

Here is a green one:

The design shown there with the RossiniEmpoli label can also be found with a moulded made in Portugal mark. Unmarked example in white here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,42214.0.html

For one thing, Rossini is the name of a glass service made by Bormioli - here confusion starts.
Genii bottles were the produce of Empoli - as the label says. But I've not come across Rossini as a manufacturer in any of the journals or annuals.
Could it be a US importer with several lines? such as Ivima, Empoli AND Bormioli? That would be the height of confusion!

Post by: chopin-liszt on April 29, 2013, 12:19:10 PM: I clicked on the link and it came up with some weird stuff I couldn't get rid of - so it was instant shut pc down and run all my thingies.
Malware did come up with something... PUP -whatevers - can't remember now.
It wasn't the usual "pop-ups disabled". :-\
