Tall Retro Modern Vase with Original Label

Orange Slag Retro Modern Vase with the Fayette Label

This eccentric retro modern vase commands attention. It’s tall, measures 17.26″ high. And it’s orange, very orange.

Can accommodate an armful of flowers or grasses. The orange slag color bleeds into a caramel yellow on the rim and base. Statement making orange color, very popular in the late 1960’s to early 1970’s.

The label on the retro modern vase reads: Handmade Fayette Glass. We believe ‘Fayette’ may have been the name of this vase’s decor line. The exact form has also been documented with a ‘Smith Glass’ label.  This form is often attributed to Viking Art Glass, but we’ve yet to see a cataloged or labeled swung vase form like this from Viking.

It was formed by blowing molten glass into a mold, removing it and then ‘swinging’ the glass around to achieve the long waist of the vase.  The stylized ruffle rim was finished by hand.  The color fading is accomplished during reheating. The color is also described as slag, meaning it is opaque with melding colors.

In perfect condition.  Circa 1970. Heavy, quality vintage glass, orange slag retro modern vase makes a grand home decor focal point.
