Six handblown Empoli glasses pair glowing honey amber with deep chocolate mottling, each with its own deliciously irregular pattern.

Their tall, rounded-square silhouette—charmingly called a “squircle”—adds an unexpected architectural touch. Substantial bases ground the design, while the translucent color comes alive in the light. Handsome on a lacquered bar, beautiful against crisp white linen, and an inspired gift for the host whose table always has personality.

Measurements

Each glass measures approximately:

• Height: 5.5 inches / 14 cm

• Width: 2.5 inches / 6.4 cm

• Depth: 2.5 inches / 6.4 cm

Set of six. Slight variations reflect their handmade character.

Condition

Light wear consistent with their vintage. Variations in color, small bubbles, and gently irregular contours are consistent with handblown glass. Please refer to the photographs for surface details.

History of the maker

Empoli refers to the Tuscan glassmaking centre rather than a single maker. These glasses belong to its tradition of decorative, functional glassware, combining expressive color with everyday usefulness.

Ways to use

Serve long cocktails, sparkling water, or iced coffee with considerable style. Their warm palette makes them equally inviting for summer aperitivi and candlelit holiday entertaining.

For an out-of-the-box touch, arrange the six along a dining table with individual stems and greenery, or use a pair as handsome brush holders on a dressing table.
