What is a swung vase?
1 Answer
A swung vase is a vase produced with a unique glassblowing technique. To produce a swung vase, a glassblower holds the glass at the end of the blow pipe and then uses a tool to swing the glass, causing it to grow longer. The end result is a vase with a flared bottom, a long neck and an irregularly shaped mouth. On 1stDibs, find a variety of glass vases.
