This orange and yellow blown mold slag glass swung vase is 1960s vintage. Standing 20 1/2 inches tall with a 3 7/8-inch wide footed base, it begins as white and clear glass, then yellow, streaked with green, before it becomes more and more orange. As the base becomes a 5-inch bowl and then the trunk of the vase, the orange is blended with a cream color, giving it somewhat of an appearance of orange sherbet by the top.<p>

This change in color is in parallel with the unfolding of the pattern which also begins at the base. Circles become bigger circles; there is a demarcation of a wreath of diamonds, then ovals, then again, diamonds, which, stretched, complete the look of the "pulled" or stretched glass which continues to the 2 inch, ragged oval opening at the top.<p>

This is the natural result of creating swung glass. Swung glass vases begin as small glasses with a design set into the lower part. As the glass is heated, the maker slings it by hand from the end of a long metal rod to obtain the desired result. Because of this approach, all pieces are unique within the generally same product line and design.<p>

I believe this vase to be manufactured by one of the West Virginia glassmakers such as Fenton or Viking. It is in excellent condition!
