Lot 358:
A Pair of Mid-Century Modern American Art Glass Vases
Sold for: $20
Description
This lot features two decorative glass vases representative of mid-20th-century American art glass production. The first item is a swung glass vase in a solid amber color. It has a bulbous base with three distinctive pulled lobes or feet and a tall, tapered neck that terminates in a hand-swung, asymmetrical ruffled rim. The second item is a ribbed bud vase in amberina glass, displaying a vibrant color gradient that transitions from a deep ruby red at the base to a golden yellow at the flared rim. The body of the bud vase is molded with vertical fluting and the rim is finished with a scalloped or pie-crust edge. Both forms are characteristic of glassware produced by manufacturers such as L.E. Smith, Viking Glass, or Jeanette Glass. There are no visible maker marks or labels on either piece.
Condition report:
Both vases appear to be in good vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or significant scratches were observed. Minor manufacturing irregularities such as small air bubbles and faint shelf wear on the undersides are present, consistent with age and production methods.
