Empoli Cased Art Glass BIG Circus Tent Jar
Big and beautiful, cased glass long-stemmed covered jar. Fondly referred to as “Circus Tent” today, this fabulous retro style was popular in the 1950’s to early 1960’s. Cased white and green glass results in a creamy avocado green. The tip of the tent is not cased and shows the “pre-cased” dark green color. Hand blown with attached colorless stem. In nearly perfect condition with a small inner rim chip on the lid base. It is not visible when lid in on vessel, and hard to see when looking for it.
Made by Empoli Glass in the 1940’s-1950’s, operating in the city of Empoli, near Florence Italy since the 1200’s. Gio Ponti, a major Italian designer of the time, used Empoli glass.
LARGE. Measures 12.75″ tall and 6.5″ at widest. Girth measures 19″ around.
