VTG 2 Morning Glory Carnival Glass Swung Vases Marigold Art Nouveau 5.5"

VTG 2 Morning Glory Carnival Glass Swung Vases Marigold Art Nouveau 5.5 Inch Excellent condition, clean, one has minor scratches inside, see pictures and description. Two similar but different, swung glass vases. Marigold orange with an iridescent hue overall to offer a rainbow effect. The taller vase has some wear to the orange color inside the neck that does not affect the beauty of this item and it is not visible on the outside. The shorter vase is wider in the middle and lighter in color by the base. Due to their size they are called "Morning Glory" vases affectionately. These may be made by Imperial Glass. Each measures 5 1/8" and 5 1/4" tall respectively. The spread tops vary from 4" wide to 4 1/4". At the bottom they measure 2 3/8" wide. Each vase weighs about 8 oz each. They will be carefully packed for travel. In general, most Carnival vases are fairly tall and slender, their mouths opening wider to fan out their floral contents to best effect. In the creative process of a swung vase, the pieces were extracted individually from their molds, clamped on the end of a snap, reheated in a glory hole and literally swung by the glassmaker whilst the glass was still elastic in texture, to achieve their finished length. ​It is this individual reheating—each vase being reheated to slightly different temperatures and in different places—combined with the direction of (and the energy expounded on) the “swing” that makes each vase unique.
