Thrift store find! Hand blown Empoli Italian art glass footed vase.

Found this at a thrift store near my home. I love the shape and the flute with the ribbing. It measures about 9 1/4" tall and about 5 3/8" at the bulbous part of the vase. the opening is 3 1/4" across and the base is about 4" across. I also love the aquamarine color. This is a great example of why thrift stores are still great hunting grounds for us quirky collectors. I will stop at a thrift store even if all i have on me is a few dollars I've been known to shop with only pocket change and find great jewelry items for a dollar or less!. what great fun!
