Very pretty set of eight 1960s Italian Empoli Rossini glass decanters in the ever-popular colour Tangerine Amberina, a mixture of ruby red and tangerine orange. In different shapes and styles.
Some compare these colours to those of a brilliant sunset or even better a Tequila Sunrise.
The flat oval shaped one with the large bubbles at the front is clearly based on Blenko's shape #6310 designed by Wayne Husted. And the rest fits right in the Blenko angerine-amberina colour scheme and some of the shapes as well, like the blown pitcher and for obvious reasons the ones with the gigant ball stoppers.
I can find information about Wayne Husted designing for Stelvia (also Italy Florence Empoli) but I cannot find anything about a co-operation with Rossini. Maybe part of these bottles are actually from the Stelvia co-op.
