Vase Swing Sculptural – Stretched Glass Azure Blue – Korean Craftsmanship 1970

Superb 1970s soliflore vase with an organic and elongated design. This piece is a remarkable example of South Korean artisanal glassmaking from the Mid-Century period, a sought-after production for its mastery of stretched glass techniques ("Swing Glass"). The history of the piece: During the 1960s and 70s, Korea developed cutting-edge craftsmanship, exporting high-quality pieces to international design boutiques. This vase still bears its original label "Hand Craft - Made in Korea," a true certificate of authenticity for vintage glass enthusiasts. Aesthetic characteristics: • Technique: Blown glass then manually stretched hot to form this "finger" neck (finger vase) with fluid curves. • Colour: A vibrant chromatic gradient, starting from a deep blue at the base to crystalline shades at the top. • Light: The vertical ribs create refraction effects that animate the colour depending on the exposure. Condition: Perfect condition. The original label is still present, which is rare for a piece of this age. Dimensions: • Height: 23.5 cm. • Maximum width: 8 cm. • Weight: 475 g. Secure packaging with double protection under bubble wrap, reinforced cushioning to stabilise the stretched neck. Fast and careful shipping.
