Huge Blown Red Architectural Glass Floor Vase
Tall swung architectural glass floor vase by Smith Glass. This very tall floor vase was blown into mold then hand stretched, swung and tooled. It is deep translucent red with opaque tipped swung rim.
A unique piece made in the 1960’s-1970’s by L.E. Smith. Smith Glass has been crafting handmade, American-pressed glass since 1907, and today, is one of only a handful of American hand-made glass factories remaining. Known for creating the first headlight lens for the Model T Ford, and the original glass mixing bowl, Smith Glass is known for nostalgic favorites, as well as new contemporary designs. This form is often identified as Viking Art Glass. We’ve seen two of these vases with the Smith label – and this form has never appeared in Viking references.
This glass floor vase is in excellent condition. The glass is heavy and clean, no flaws. It measures 23.75″ tall. The base is 7″ wide with 21″ girth. It weighs 5 lbs.
Truly stunning architectural floor vase for your home or office. Sure to impress.
