History: An exceptional mid-century modern art glass goblet featuring a rich, deep blue bowl with a subtle spiral optic ribbed pattern, mounted on a clear, moulded and ribbed pedestal foot. This stunning piece is hand-blown, with evident craftsmanship in its organic curves and tactile base, likely hailing from the Empoli region of Italy or Bohemian glasshouses of the 1960s–1970s. Striking as a decorative accent or as part of a collector’s display of coloured glassware. Measures approximately 17 cm tall. A highly desirable statement piece.
