Crack on the outside bottom (does not go through to inside). No sediment or water spotting. Point of stopper is smooth. Unsigned, but most likely Rainbow or any other WV/Ohio Valley maker.

Unique blue vintage Italian Empoli (mid century) glass decanter. Also called “genie bottles” because of the shape and tall and unique bottle stoppers. It is in excellent vintage condition – no chips or cracks and stopper is intact. It does not have the original “Made in Italy” sticker but includes original matching decanter stopper. These colored decanters were glass-blown into many different molds of unique shapes and sizes and in a wide variety of colors. Perfect mid-century modern décor and a beautiful statement piece due to the impressive size and texture. Height (w/stopper) – 14. Height (w/o stopper) – 9 1/2. Base Diameter – 6. This is a hard one for me because I would love to keep it and add to my personal collection. Alas, it will only be on my mantle until it sells. Thank you for your interest.

This is a stunning example of mid-century Italian artistry: a vintage Empoli cased glass “triple bubble” gourd decanter. Produced in Italy during the 1960s, this architectural piece captures the height of the Space Age aesthetic. The decanter features a vibrant azure blue exterior expertly cased over a clean milk-glass white interior, creating a brilliant, saturated color profile that truly “pops” in natural light. Standing an impressive 19 inches tall, this decanter commands attention. Its iconic triple-lobed silhouette-often referred to as a “Genie Bottle” or “Gourd” shape-is a hallmark of the Empoli region’s glass-blowing tradition. While it is currently presented as a standalone decorative vase or decanter (without a stopper), its sheer scale and “Headless” architectural form make it a highly sought-after piece for Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regencycollectors alike. This piece is in excellent vintage condition. The glass remains clear and vibrant with no chips, cracks, or internal mineral staining. The top rim is smooth and free of flea bites.
