Mid-Century Modern Viking Glass Swan and Snail Art Glass Centerpiece Set

This set consists of two sculptural art glass decorative items in a rich olive or avocado green transparent hue, typical of mid-century aesthetics. The primary piece is a swan-form bowl featuring an elegant, elongated neck that curves upward and tapers into a stylized head, with a deep, lobed vessel body designed to hold small objects. The secondary companion piece is a snail or nautilus-inspired bowl, characterized by a tight, decorative spiral scroll at the front end and similar undulating, scalloped edges that form a cradle-like vessel. Both pieces are manufactured from heavy, hand-pressed, or hand-blown glass, showcasing the fluid, organic lines popularized by companies like Viking Glass or L.E. Smith during the 1960s and 1970s. The glass contains minimal inclusions, though subtle air bubbles may be present upon close inspection, which is common for art glass of this era. The surface appears to have a high-gloss finish with no significant clouding or 'sick glass' syndrome visible. There are no obvious chips or cracks in the curving extremities, which are vulnerable points. The bases are likely ground flat to ensure stability. These items represent high-quality domestic glass production from the American mid-century period, and their excellent clarity suggests they have been well-maintained without significant abrasive wear.
