Mid-Century Modern Viking Glass Ruby Red swung vase

This item is a tall, hand-pressed, swung glass floor vase, characteristic of mid-20th-century decorative glassware. The vase is crafted in a vibrant ruby red or cranberry colored glass, featuring a distinctive bulbous base that tapers into a long, slender rhythmic neck. The top of the vase displays the hallmark 'swung' style, where the glass has been pulled and stretched while hot to create asymmetrical, organic-looking peaks and dips at the rim. Attached to the side is a clear, decorative glass crimped leaf or lily-petal application, which adds a layer of texture and complexity to the smooth surface of the red glass body. The construction reflects the 'Epic' or similar lines often associated with manufacturers like Viking Glass or Kanawha. Physically, the piece appears to be in overall good condition, though the clear glass attachment shows some internal refraction which could indicate minor stress fractures or surface scratching consistent with its age, likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s. The depth and saturation of the red pigment are hallmarks of high-quality selenium or gold-based glass coloring common in Appalachian glass houses of that era. No visible maker's marks are discernible in this perspective, as many were originally identified only by paper labels.
