Empoli Italian Blue Glass Diamond Vase – 10” Tall

This striking 10-inch cobalt blue vase brings classic Empoli Italian glass design to life with a bold diamond pattern and dramatic hourglass shape. The pressed glass surface features raised geometric texture — often referred to as the “diamond point” or “hobnail” pattern — that catches and reflects light in every direction.

Produced in Italy, likely mid to late 20th century, this piece reflects the Empoli region’s tradition of creating richly colored art glass with personality and flair. Its deep blue hue and substantial feel make it an unforgettable statement piece.

Not subtle — but definitely stunning. Whether used for dried florals, bold blooms, or simply as a pop of sculptural color on your shelf, this vase brings the drama.

Not antique, but absolutely collectible.
