L.E. Smith Thousand Eye Bittersweet Swung Vase, 20” Numbered
A commanding expression of vintage American glass, this 20-inch L. E. Smith Thousand Eye swung vase brings together the distinctive Bittersweet colorway and the sculptural elegance of an elongated form. The 342 marker indicates that this specific piece belongs to L.E. Smith's highly collectible Fayette line produced during the mid-to-late 1960s. The Thousand Eye pattern lends rhythmic visual interest, creating a striking counterpoint to the vase’s soaring silhouette.
With its generous height and expressive presence, this piece makes an elegant focal point in a curated glass collection or a thoughtfully appointed mid-century interior. A compelling choice for the collector drawn to richly colored glass and distinctive decorative forms.
