Description

A tall, slender clear glass swung vase, characteristic of mid-century American decorative glassware. This piece was created using a molded form that was manually swung while hot to elongate the neck and produce a unique, irregular ruffled or handkerchief-style rim. The body features molded vertical ribs or flutes that run the length of the vessel. The circular base has a molded radial sunburst pattern on the underside. There is a circular indentation in the center of the base containing faint molded characters that are indistinct due to the thickness of the glass. This style of vessel is often referred to as a finger vase or tower vase.

Height: Approximately 15 – 20 inches
Base Diameter: Approximately 4 inches.


Condition report:

The vase is in good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or restorations. The glass retains good clarity with no significant clouding. Minor manufacturing-related bubbles or striations may be present within the glass, which is typical for this production method.
