Vintage Italian Art Glass Pear 13in by Maestri Vetrai Azzurra | Hand Blown Brown Amber Tortoise Shell Decor | Mid Century Retro Statement

Set sail on a sea of amber sparkle with this breathtaking 13 inch (≈ 33 cm) Maestri Vetrai art glass pear—an Italian masterpiece by Azzurra’s “master glassmakers.”

Hand-blown in the famed Empoli region near Florence during the late 1970s–’80s, its warm tortoise-shell pattern shimmers with copper aventurine flecks for that end-of-day glow.

Each silky surface ripple and applied stem & leaf was shaped by expert artisans, echoing classic Murano techniques while proudly bearing the “Made in Italy” foil tag.

📜 Born of Tuscan tradition, Azzurra Vetreria Artistica has been crafting decorative glass since the Coppola family first opened their Empoli workshop. Though often mistaken for Murano, these pieces blend bold mid-century flair with time-honored Florentine skill—making them a coveted collectible today.

📐 Standing 13 in (≈ 33 cm) tall with a 5½ in (≈ 14 cm) widest diameter and weighing just 1.2 kg, it’s the perfect show-stopper for your mantel, entryway console, or kitchen vignette.

✔️ In excellent vintage condition—no cracks, chips, or clouding—this pear retains its original HomeSense price tag from the early 2000s (2001–06 logo era) and “Made in Italy” sticker underneath.

Imagine it nestled beside potted succulents, anchoring your coffee table display, or simply reflecting lamp glow on a bookshelf.

Whether you’re a vintage décor devotee, a collector of Italian art glass, or simply craving a statement accent, this sculpture brings both heritage and wow-factor home! 😉
