Mid-Century American Bud Vase – C.F.G. Co. (c. 1945–1950)
There’s something honest about mid-century American glass. It was made to be used — not admired from behind a cabinet door.
This slender bud vase from Central Glass & Fixture Company carries that practical elegance. The fluted body rises cleanly from a rounded base, narrowing at the waist before opening gently at the rim. It holds a single bloom beautifully — a rose, a sprig of lavender, or one perfect stem from the garden.
It’s simple. Balanced. Undeniably American.
