Tartaruga Large Glass Fruit Bowl By Vetrerie Di Empoli

For more than a century, Vetrerie di Empoli has successfully created elegant and sophisticated glassware since its naissance in 1900. This illustrious business is still family owned, providing a vast range of luxury glassware, from classically gilded champagne flutes and stemware to the rainbow-hued Aqua. No matter the style, the Vetrerie di Empoli expertise runs through each exception piece. From its flagship location on via di Montenapoleone, the Milanese elite, along with many international clients, return year after year for precious wedding gifts and priceless family heirlooms.The Vetrerie di Empoli artefacts combine the perfection of execution with a taste that goes beyond fashion, bringing the border between craftsmanship and art closer. For this reason Vetrerie di Empoli chose the image of a painting by Antonio Ligabue, an artist who experimented with painting, sculpture, drawing, etchings: his works are a hymn to manual skill and creative strength, marked from a deep love for nature and animals. With this image Vetrerie di Empoli ideally wants to allude to the correspondence between craftsmanship, art and nature, an intertwining that is found in the manufacturing and decorative motifs of its glass, to the point of paying homage to fashion and the iconic "animalier" motifs of a collection in in which Ligabue's animals (the snake, the crocodile) are the protagonists. Vetrerie di Empoli has created these glasses to be inserted into contemporary interiors for a fashion touch, with an always fun spirit.
