Description :

Description: A striking six-finger uranium swung vase, showcasing the dramatic fluidity and luminous glow that define mid-century art glass. This piece likely dates to the 1950s–60s, when swung vases were popularized by makers like Fenton and Viking.

Design: Elongated form with six distinct “fingers” at the rim; vibrant green glass with uranium content that fluoresces under UV light

Materials: Pressed uranium glass

Dimensions: Approx. 13" H × 3.5" W at base (based on similar examples)

Condition: Excellent; no chips or cracks noted

Collectibility: Uranium glass swung vases are highly collectible for their sculptural appeal and glowing properties. Comparable examples in this size and style typically sell for $45–$120 depending on maker and condition.

Historical Note: Swung vases were created by reheating and elongating pressed glass forms, resulting in unique, organic silhouettes. Uranium glass, used from the 19th century through the mid-20th century, contains trace amounts of uranium oxide, giving it a distinctive green hue and fluorescent glow under blacklight.
