This is an iconic mid-century modern "Genie Bottle" decanter (missing its original flame or bubble glass stopper), originating from the Empoli region of Italy.
The piece is commonly collected and displayed today as a decorative vase. 31cm height is the exact standard measurement for the base of this specific Italian design before adding its elongated glass stopper (which typically brings the total height to around 40cm). 31cm H x 12cm diam
Blown by glassworks in Empoli, Italy (frequently imported and distributed by companies like Rossini or Stelvia during the 1960s and 1970s). It features a warm amber/honey soda-glass composition accented by distinct clear applied rigaree trim (the crimped, spiked glass trails running down both sides).
The bottom has a faint unpolished pontil mark characteristic of these mold-blown Italian pieces.
