Rare sculptural form – orb center pedestal genie bottle in deep amethyst, 21.5 tall. Rare form mid-century amethyst hobnail pedestal genie bottle featuring a dramatic rounded orb midsection and flame-style stopper. Standing approximately 21.5 inches tall, this architectural glass piece commands attention from every angle. Produced in richly colored purple glass with full hobnail texture throughout, this example showcases a more unusual double-form silhouette rarely seen compared to standard genie bottles. Likely originating from Italian Empoli glasshouses during the 1960s-1970s, this piece was originally designed as a decorative decanter and is now prized as sculptural MCM art glass. Heavy, well-balanced, and visually striking, this is the kind of statement decor collectors and designers hunt for. Pairs beautifully with the matching straight-form genie bottle I also have listed. ? Color: Deep amethyst purple. ? Material: Hand-blown glass. ? Includes original stopper. ? Era: Mid Century Modern. Condition: Very good vintage condition with no chips or cracks observed. Pieces from this era often show variations in color distribution and applied construction (including clear joins and stopper differences), which are typical characteristics rather than indicators of replacement or modern manufacture.
