Vintage Olive Green Art Glass Decanter with Faceted Stopper
Possibly by empoli Italy 
Mid-Century Modern | Scandinavian / Italian Influence
 
Elegant, sculptural and quietly dramatic, this tall mid-century art glass decanter is a beautiful example of the clean lines and rich colour that defined European glass design in the 1950s–1970s.
 .
The bottle is formed in a deep olive-green glass with subtle vertical optical ribbing that catches the light beautifully. Its long tapered neck rises to a distinctive flared collar, finished with a substantial, multi-faceted geometric stopper. The overall silhouette is both refined and architectural – a piece that sits perfectly within a Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian or contemporary interior.

Possible Maker & History
While unmarked, the style strongly reflects mid-century European art glass, particularly:
Italian Empoli glassworks (Tuscany) – renowned for olive-green household glass and elegant decanters in the 1950s–60s.
Scandinavian makers such as Holmegaard (Denmark) or Riihimäki (Finland), known for clean architectural forms and restrained colour palettes.
.
The optical ribbing, deep olive tone, and sculptural stopper place the piece firmly within the Mid-Century Modern design movement, when everyday objects were elevated into decorative art for the home.
