- 1960s Purple Glass Set of Ten Italian Empoli Genie Bottles, Vases and Candy JarsLocated in Haarlem, NLVery decorative aubergine, amethist, plum coloured purple set of ten different size and colour Italian art glass bottles, vases and apothecary or candy jars. Mention Italian glass and probably everyone’s mind immediately leaps to Venice and Murano. But there is another almost equally famous centre of Italian glass making known as Empoli. Empoli glass is generally much simpler and does not have the intricately applied trim or decorations associated with Venetian and Murano pieces. The simple traditional styles of Empoli glass were quickly adapted to the abstract shapes of mid 20th century modernism. It became hugely popular as a decorative home accent, and was exported across the world. Now they are highly sought after by international collectors and look beautiful arranged together. This set consists of three pressed genie bottles and seven blown glass items. The bottles have their stopper and all items are different in design, shape and size (height with stopper): Large striped swirl genie bottle, pressed glass, 53cm high, ø 13.5cm (20.9"x5.3") Diamond design pressed 'genie' bottle, pressed glass, 55cm high, ø 13cm diameter (21.7"x5.1") Angular 4 sided genie bottle with dancing women, pressed glass, 48cm high, 15x15cm depth and width (18.9"x5.9") Carafe with clear handle and foot, without stopper, marked, made in Italy, blown glass, 38cm high, ø 13cm (15"x5.1") Large cognac glass, blown glass, 27cm high, ø 18cm (10.6"x7.1") Small cognac glass, blown glass, 23cm high, ø 13cm (9.1"5.1") Optic bubble small vase on clear foot, blown glass, clear glass foot, 22cm high, ø 10cm (8.7"x3.9") Small long vase with swirl design, blown glass, 25cm high, ø 8cm (9.8"x 3.1") Bonbon or candy jar with clear foot and handle, blown glass, 24cm high, ø 11cm (9.5"x4.3") Small bonbon or candy jar with clear foot and handle, blown glass, 16cm high, ø 11cm (6.3"x4.3") Like Murano glass in the 1950s-1960s the great majority of Empoli glass was marked only with relatively generic “Made in Italy” paper or foil label.
