Mid-Century L.E. Smith Turquoise “Rocket” Swung Vase

About the Item

Large mid-century impressive swung vase by L.E. Smith. This particular turquoise swung vase is called the “Rocket” vase. Both this style and coloration is hard to come by. The top is asymmetrical and the body balloons outward. Towards the bottom of the vase, it is pinched with fins. The fins give this vase the “rocket” namesake. A great addition for a new glass lover or for the seasoned glass collector. In overall good vintage condition with minor scratches present. No chips or breaks. Wear consistent with age.
