Vintage L.E. Smith Ruby Red & Amberina Ribbed Swung Vase 25.25"
About the Item
Measuring 25.25" h x 7" w
This striking mid-century swung vase was produced by **L.E. Smith Glass Company**, a renowned American glass manufacturer known for its vibrant art glass and innovative designs. Crafted using the **swung glass technique**, this vase features an elongated, freeform silhouette with an asymmetrical, jagged rim that creates a flame-like effect. The body is vertically ribbed, accentuating its height and adding depth to its bold, reflective surface.
The color transitions from a deep **ruby red** at the base to a warm **amber-yellow** at the rim, a hallmark of **Amberina glass**, a style first introduced in the late 19th century and popularized again during the mid-20th century. The distinctive color shift is achieved through reheating specific areas of the glass to produce a gradual gradient, a technique perfected by skilled American glassmakers like L.E. Smith.
L.E. Smith Glass Company, founded in the early 1900s, became a leading producer of decorative and functional glassware, particularly known for its swung vases, pressed glass patterns, and vibrant carnival glass. This vase is a perfect example of the company’s mid-century production, embodying both the bold aesthetics and expert craftsmanship that defined the era.
With its dramatic shape, rich coloration, and unique hand-formed rim, this piece is not only a collectible item but also a striking decorative statement. Whether displayed as a standalone piece or as part of a curated vintage glass collection, it represents the artistry and innovation of mid-century American glass design.
