A Note from Kim
One of the things I love most about vintage is that every piece has a story — sometimes we know the whole tale, sometimes we only get a glimpse, and sometimes we have to let the item do the talking. Today, I’m letting one of my favorite finds speak for itself: a Slag Glass LE Smith Bittersweet Orange swung vase.
From the Vase’s Point of View
Hi there, I’m the vase. Not just any vase, but a Bittersweet Orange slag glass beauty. I’ve been around the block a few times — shelves, tables, windowsills — and let me tell you, I’ve had a front-row seat to life.
I was never built for big bouquets, and that’s okay. My specialty? The little things. A single bloom from the garden. A bud that just opened this morning. A sweet little arrangement that brightens up a table without taking over the room. That’s where I shine.
And people notice me — they always do. It’s not just because I’m orange (though let’s be real, I am a showstopper). It’s because of the slag glass swirls and streaks that catch the light in ways that make people pause and say, “Wow.” That never gets old.
I’ve had a few homes, and each one treated me with care. Until the last one couldn’t anymore, and I found myself on a shelf at a local charity shop. Then along came Kim. She scooped me up, wrapped me safely, and gave me a temporary spot on her shelf with some other vases. It’s cozy here, but I know it won’t last forever. She’s promised to help me find my forever home. Maybe that’s with you?
Why Pieces Like This Matter
That’s the joy of vintage — these pieces aren’t just objects. They’ve lived lives, held memories, and brought beauty to countless rooms. A vase like this doesn’t just hold flowers. It holds history.
Will This Vase Find Its Forever Home With You?
