Vintage amethyst purple five-finger swung glass vase 10”

The vase is a type of decorative glassware known as a swung vase or stretched glass vase. This style was particularly popular from the 1960s to the 1980s. The unique, elongated shape is created by a glassblower who presses molten glass into a mold and then "swings" it in a pendulum motion to stretch and shape the vase while it is still warm. This process makes each piece unique. The vase shown is specifically known as an amethyst or purple swung vase, often featuring a five-finger or finger-style mouth.
