Antique Dugan Diamond Thin Rib Carnival Art Glass Swung Vase Marigold Iridescent
DESCRIPTION:
Dugan swung vases made their first appearance in the 1929 Butler Brother's catalog. This swung vase is from that era. Swung vases are classified by their base size because their height varied so widely. This vase has a 3" base but has been swung to a height of 8". The glass is a stunning iridescent marigold. The photos do this magnificent piece no justice at all.
What is a Swung Vase? I'm glad you asked. Here is an excerpt from a 2009 article by Carnival Glass Worldwide:
"In the creative process of a swung vase, the pieces were extracted individually from their moulds, clamped on the end of a snap, reheated in a glory hole and literally swung by the glassmaker whilst the glass was still elastic in texture, to achieve their finished length.
​It is this individual reheating—each vase being reheated to slightly different temperatures and in different places—combined with the direction of (and the energy expounded on) the “swing” that makes each vase unique."
MEASUREMENTS:
3"(Base), 8" (Height), 3"(Widest point across flare)
Ships using USPS Priority Mail
CONDITION: EXCELLENT - "PRE-OWNED".
There are 3 small chips along the bottom edge of the vase(photos 8, 9, 10, 11). I do see one micro surface bubble but that is to be expected with a manufacturing process of this type. We try to give the most accurate and honest description possible.
