Description

View Vintage MCM Viking Glass Emerald Green Swan Bowl - Large Centerpiece 12” inch with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The color is evergreen, one of Viking Glass's original six colors introduced in 1951. The piece is unmarked, as Viking Glass characteristically used paper labels rather than permanent marks; virtually none survive. Large vintage MCM hand-blown art glass swan bowl attributed to the Viking Glass Company of New Martinsville, West Virginia — one of the most celebrated American art glass makers of the mid-century era. The color is evergreen, one of Viking Glass's original six colors introduced in 1951. The form — wide asymmetrical bowl on a polished footed base with an elegantly applied clear glass swan neck — is consistent with Viking's pattern 974, produced from the 1940s through the 1960s. The piece is unmarked, as Viking Glass characteristically used paper labels rather than permanent marks; virtually none survive. This is a substantially larger example than most swan bowls of this type that come to market. A genuine statement centerpiece. Very good vintage condition. Light surface wear consistent with age. Minor bubbles and internal variations are characteristic of hand-blown glass, not defects. Measurements: * Length (tip to tail): 12.75” * Bowl diameter: 11.75” * Height (to swan head): 9.5” * Bowl height: approx. 4” Additional swan bowls from the same collection are available in our store — including a ruby red companion as well as other colors and sizes from the same maker. Condition: Used. Category: Pottery & Glass › Decorative Cookware, Dinnerware & Serveware › Bowls. Brand: New Martinsville/Viking.
