This substantial piece combines sophisticated mid-century design with traditional Italian art glass luxury, displaying the distinctive tortoiseshell colourway associated with Christian Dior's Empoli glass collection — swirling organic patterns of rich espresso brown suspended through luminous amber glass, reminiscent of natural tortoiseshell and horn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginal vintage condition.

At its centre is an ingenious internal glass ice chamber extending deep into the body — ice can be placed inside to chill the drink while remaining separate from the contents, keeping it cool without dilution. The chamber retains its original substantial chrome metal stopper with a spherical finial. The pitcher was individually mouth-blown and retains its polished pontil mark underneath. Perfect as the centrepiece of a sophisticated bar cart or table setting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand wash only.
