Gorgeous vintage L.E. Smith Bittersweet Swung Vase - 26 inches tall!

This is the iconic tall ribbed column form from the 1960s. Made in Jeannette, PA by L.E. Smith Glass Co. in their famous Bittersweet color - a beautiful opaque amberina that fades from sunny yellow at the thick fat-bottom base to a deep burnt orange at the top.

Hand-blown and swung while hot, giving it that dramatic stretched neck and organic, shark-bite opening. The elegant vertical ribbed lines run the entire length of the vase.
