About the Item
A matching pair of tall Empoli glass floor vases, hand-blown in Italy during the 1960s by Cristalleria Artistica Toscana, a respected Tuscan glassworks celebrated for its inventive contributions to postwar Italian decorative arts.
Each vase is executed in chartreuse green optic glass, a distinctive medium within the Empoli tradition, and enriched with hand-applied white “candy stripe” bands that spiral upward with subtle rhythm and visual movement. The restrained cylindrical form—tall, softly contoured, and finished with a smooth, polished rim—reflects the architectural clarity and quiet sophistication associated with Italian modernist glass of the period.
Measuring approximately 19.3 in (49 cm) high with a 5.7 in (14.5 cm) diameter, the vases are well proportioned for floor display, yet equally effective atop a console, mantel, or pedestal. Whether used to hold dramatic floral arrangements or appreciated as sculptural objects in their own right, they exemplify the Empoli region’s legacy of innovation in blown art glass during the mid-20th century.
The transparent chartreuse hue, combined with the graphic white striping, creates a lively interplay of light and depth without excess ornamentation—an enduring hallmark of quality Empoli production.

Mid-Century Empoli Floor Vase in Smoked and White Striped Glass, Italy, 1960s
By Empoli
Located in Glasgow, GB
A tall and quietly commanding Empoli floor vase, handcrafted in Italy during the 1960s by Cristalleria Artistica Toscana, a glassworks known for its creative approach to mid-century glass decorative arts. This piece is formed in smoked optic glass, a distinctive medium in the Empoli tradition, accentuated by swirling white candy-stripe bands that spiral upward with subtle motion.
The shape is restrained yet architectural: a tall cylindrical form with softened curves and a smooth, level rim—classic attributes of Italian modernist glass design from this period. Measuring 49 cm in height with a 14.5 cm diameter, the vase is proportioned for use as a floor-standing decorative piece, but is equally suited to consoles, mantels, or pedestal display.
Whether used as a vessel for dramatic floral arrangements or appreciated on its own as a mid-century modern glass sculpture, this piece speaks to the Empoli region’s legacy of innovation in blown art glass during the post-war era. The smoky transparency of the glass and the hand-applied white striping evoke movement without ornamentation.
