Vintage Italian Mid-Century "Brevettato and 49 similar items

This unique piece is a mid-century vintage Italian wine decanter specifically produced for the legendary Bolla Winery, featuring their signature bulbous body and a tapered neck. Molded into the shoulder of the heavy, translucent aqua-green glass is the distinct embossed text "BREVETTATO BOLLA", which indicates it was a custom, legally patented decanter design used by the company to bottle and distribute premium Veneto wines like Soave or Bardolino during the mid-20th century. The bottle is full of beautiful, artisan-style manufacturing characteristics like natural tiny air bubbles ("seeds") embedded in the thick glass walls and organic flowing lines, giving it a classic European farmhouse aesthetic. Originally a functional beverage vessel, this historic piece of barware is highly collected today as a striking sculptural floor vase, terrarium base, or rustic sun-catcher accent.
