AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and elegant decorative cat-shaped bottle, made of blown amber glass with relief texture, typical of the famous Empoli manufacturing tradition (Tuscany, Italy) of the 1960s.

This glass art piece stands out for its anthropomorphic and sinuous design that reproduces the silhouette of a cat seated facing forward. The surface of the body features a finely worked relief texture that simulates the animal's fur, enriching the base where the paws are defined.

The head, finished in the finest detail with large eyes, upright ears and an expressive muzzle, is completely removable and serves as the original stopper. The stopper's stem still retains its period plastic gasket, essential for protecting the glass and ensuring stability when inserted into the bottle's neck.

An iconic piece of Italian Mid-Century Modern / Space Age, perfect for Empoli glass collectors or as a sophisticated vintage furnishing element.
