Empoli Wrythen Art Glass vase, often termed Optic Swirl by collectors. Crafted in the Empoli region of Italy during the 1960s, this piece features a purple amethyst-colored body with a twisted clear glass stem and foot. Likely produced by glassworks such as Vetreria Etrusca or Cristalleria Fratelli Betti. No visible maker’s mark, consistent with typical export patterns of the era.
