Product Details

This spectacular vintage tazza compote is a premier example of mid-century Italian art glass from the historic Empoli region of Tuscany. Blown in a breathtaking, vibrant "Bermuda Blue" aqua-turquoise, this piece features a wide, dramatic low-slung flared bowl that effortlessly captures and refracts light. The true showstopper is the exquisite clear pedestal stem, which showcases a masterfully hand-blown barley twist spiral design connecting the bowl to the smooth, fire-polished foot. As an incredible bonus for collectors, this vintage piece is UV-reactive and exhibits a beautiful, soft lime-green manganese glow under a blacklight, a signature characteristic of historic Tuscan glass production. Whether displayed as a standalone architectural statement or used as an elegant centerpiece, this Tuscan beauty brings timeless mid-century modern sophistication to any space. Origin: Empoli (Tuscany, Italy) Era: Mid-Century Modern (circa 1960s) Material: Hand-Blown
