A striking vintage Italian Empoli glass vase in a rich emerald green color, distinguished by its sculptural bubble relief surface and elegant tapered silhouette. Produced in the Empoli region of Tuscany during the mid-twentieth century, this decorative vessel embodies the playful forms and vibrant colors that made Italian art glass a defining element of Mid-Century Modern interiors.

The vase features a dramatic all-over bubble or “bullseye” texture, creating remarkable visual depth and an almost architectural presence. Rising from a wide circular base to a narrow neck, the piece combines geometric simplicity with richly textured surface decoration. The saturated green glass captures and reflects light beautifully, making the vase visually dynamic from every angle.

Empoli glassmakers became internationally recognized during the 1950s and 1960s for their innovative use of color, texture, and form. This example reflects that tradition perfectly, transforming a functional vessel into a sculptural decorative object. The raised bubble pattern creates a jewel-like effect and adds a strong tactile quality that collectors of Italian art glass particularly appreciate.

Equally beautiful displayed alone or grouped with other colored glass pieces, this vase works effortlessly in Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, eclectic, and contemporary interiors. Its sculptural silhouette allows it to function as a statement object on a bookshelf, console, bar cart, mantel, or dining table.

Presented in very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use. A highly decorative and collectible example of authentic Italian Empoli art glass, celebrated for its bold color, distinctive texture, and enduring mid-century appeal.
