Vintage MCM Fenton Amber Stretch Swung Vase - Hobnail Pedestal Base

Here's a lovely vintage Fenton hobnail swung vase up for grabs today. It's in fantastic condition, standing tall at almost 20 inches with a 4.5-inch base. What's cool about it is how well-proportioned it is - better than some others we've seen in the marketplace. The bottom part is a bit larger and, therefore, a bit heavier, which just adds to its stability.

Mid-century modern (MCM) swung vases are unique, artistic, and colorful examples of glassware. They are known for their clean lines, simplicity, and functionality. Swung vases are made by a glass-blowing technique that involves swinging the hot glass in a pendulum-like motion, creating different shapes and heights. The opening is then hand-tooled and heat polished smooth. Swung vases were popular in the 1960s and were produced by several American companies like Fenton, L.E. Smith, and Viking.

The resurgence of interest in Mid-Century Modern design in recent years has contributed to the collectibility of swung vases from this era. The retro appeal of MCM items has attracted a new generation of collectors who appreciate the style and aesthetics of the period.
