A swung vase is a unique style of vase or glassware created by a glass-blowing technique popular in the 1960s.

The swung vase is made in an “unofficial and improvised” manner. When the vase is removed from the mold, a tool called a snap holds the base in place, and the vase is reheated in the glory hole until the glass becomes elastic and malleable enough to form.

The glassmaker would then swing the vase in a pendulum-like motion while the vase mold was still hot, stretching it out to its intended finished height.

The height of the vase mold is determined by several factors, including the temperature and elasticity of the glass, as well as the swinging effort applied by the glass maker. This transforms the plain vase mold transformed into a stunning work of art.
