Vintage Empoli Butterscotch Cased Glass Ewer – Italian Art Glass Pitcher – Mid-Century Decorative Vase

This stunning mid-century glass ewer is a classic example of Empoli art glass, handcrafted in Tuscany, Italy. The striking butterscotch amber outer layer is lined with milky white interior glass — a beautiful example of cased glass technique. With its graceful flared neck, rounded base, and applied handle, this piece makes a bold yet refined statement wherever it’s placed.

Dating from the 1950s–60s, this Empoli ewer combines function and artistry in a way that defines Italian glassmaking. Whether displayed solo or as part of a curated glass collection, it brings a warm modernist touch to any space.

Why I Chose This Piece:
Empoli glass always stops me in my tracks, and this one is no exception. The color is rich and luminous, and that flared neck just begs to be styled. I also love the contrast between the glossy amber and the smooth, milky white interior — such a subtle but sophisticated detail. It’s a perfect piece for anyone who loves vintage with a sculptural edge.
