Vetri di Empoli Green Murano Glass Basket, 1960s

Italian Mid-Century Modern Art Glass

A charming example of Italian glass artistry, this green hand-blown glass basket by Vetri di Empoli embodies the elegance and craftsmanship for which Empoli glassmakers are celebrated. The fluid, ruffled edge and gracefully arched handle highlight the organic beauty of mid-century Venetian design.

Traditional Empoli craftsmanship
Handcrafted in Tuscany, this basket demonstrates Vetri di Empoli’s signature clarity and luminosity. The deep emerald tone catches and diffuses light beautifully, while the hand-pulled handle and wavy rim reveal the artisanal precision of Italian glassmaking. Its sculptural form makes it both functional and decorative, characteristic of 1960s Empoli glassware.

A timeless decorative accent
This piece works beautifully as a centrepiece, fruit bowl, or collectible art object, bringing colour and sophistication to any interior. Its light-reflecting form and bold hue make it an iconic representation of Italian mid-century modern glass.
