A graceful expression of mid-century Italian style, this large Empoli lavender opaline compote combines a softly romantic color with a ruffled tulip form. The floral-inspired silhouette brings a sense of movement and quiet elegance, offering a distinctive focal point for a console, dining table, or thoughtfully curated collection of vintage glass.

At approximately 11 × 9 inches, the compote has a generous decorative presence while retaining the delicate visual character of its blossom-like form. Its lavender palette lends itself beautifully to both restrained contemporary interiors and richly layered vintage displays.
