Dark green glass wrapped in leather, particularly in Italy, became popular during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. This period witnessed a surge in interest in unique and stylish home decor items, and Italian glass manufacturers, including those in Empoli, were known for producing high-quality glassware with distinctive designs. The combination of dark green glass with leather wrap added a touch of elegance and sophistication to decanters, bottles, and other glassware pieces, making them sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
