Vintage Cobalt Blue Glass Pedestal Tazza Bowl
This striking vintage cobalt blue pedestal bowl brings bold mid-century color to any table or display cabinet.
The wide, shallow bowl rests on an elegant footed stem, creating the classic silhouette often described as a tazza or pedestal centerpiece. Its rich cobalt color glows beautifully in natural light, making it equally suited for display as a centerpiece, fruit bowl, or decorative art glass accent.
While no maker's mark is present, the form, proportions, and vibrant blue glass closely resemble Italian Empoli-style art glass produced during the 1960s and 1970s.

Collector's Notes
Cobalt blue pedestal bowls became popular decorative accents during the Mid-Century Modern era. Italian glassmakers in the Empoli region produced many hand-blown pieces with similar clean, sculptural forms and saturated colors.
Because this example is unmarked, it is best described as being in the Empoli style rather than attributed to a specific Italian maker.

Disclaimer
All items are vintage and may show signs of age, wear, or use consistent with their history. Photos show the exact condition of each piece—please review them carefully, as they are part of the description.
While I do my best to capture colors accurately, your monitor or device screen may display colors slightly differently from the actual item.
Please Note:
These pieces come from estate collections and have been surface cleaned. You may wish to perform additional cleaning depending on your preference.

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.
-
Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
-
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.
-
Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
