What is a swung vase?

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.

How can I tell if I have a swung glass vase?

To tell if you have a swung vase, first examine the seam along the body. On swung vases, this seam is usually more prominent near the base and becomes fainter and fainter as it travels upward toward the neck. Also, swung vases tend to have irregularly shaped pinched or dipped openings. Find a collection of swung vases on 1stDibs.
