Empoli Italian Hand-Blown Green Glass Carafe & 8 Tumblers – Mid-Century

A vintage Italian hand-blown glass beverage set in rich emerald green, attributed to Empoli, mid-20th century. The set comprises a tall carafe with flared rim, applied triple rings at the neck, and a decorative circular medallion, finished with a rough pontil base. Eight matching tumblers, each with polished bottoms, complete the ensemble. Subtle variations in shape, air bubbles, and tooling marks highlight the handmade quality characteristic of Empoli production.

Empoli glass, produced in the Tuscany region of Italy, is celebrated for its deep green tones and sculptural mid-century forms. Complete matching sets such as this are increasingly scarce, making it a desirable find for collectors and an elegant choice for entertaining. Both functional and decorative, it would display beautifully in a bar, dining room, or glassware collection.

Condition:

Good overall condition. The carafe shows mineral deposits and residue at the interior base, along with expected wear from use. Tumblers display light scratches and inclusions consistent with hand-blown glass. No major cracks or repairs observed.
