Hey there Hornet,
Just my opinion of course, but these are not Empoli, at least none I have ever seen. The pulled glass is very irregular like you said, that wasnt there form from what I know. Good luck with these, I think they are great!
Hi friends
The type of machining approaches the "ROSTRATO" but in this case the glass is green and very heavy.

Ercole Barovier "Mugnoni" ???

Quella vita ch'è una cosa bella,
non e' la vita che si conosce,
ma quella che non si conosce;
non la vita passata,
ma la futura.
Coll'anno nuovo,
il caso comincera' a trattar bene
voi e me e tutti gli altri
e si principierà la vita felice.
Tanti auguri!
