Vase
This glass vase, likely produced in Sweden during the 1960s, is characterized by a clear, thick-walled glass construction and an organic, asymmetrical form. The design features a gently curving body that tapers toward the top, culminating in an undulating rim which adds a sense of movement and dynamism to the piece. A subtle concave indentation within the interior of the vase creates a layered effect, enhancing its visual depth and complexity within the transparent glass.
The vase is in good vintage condition, showing no visible cracks or chips. The base exhibits minor wear consistent with its age, a typical characteristic for hand-blown glass objects of this period. These signs of age contribute to the piece’s authenticity and handmade nature.
Though the designer is unknown, the style corresponds closely with mid-century Scandinavian glass production, which favored minimalist design, organic shapes, and precise craftsmanship. Swedish glassworks such as Orrefors, Kosta, and Boda often produced similar works during this era, focusing on clarity of material, balanced proportions, and the interaction of light with the glass surface.
The vase embodies the principles of Scandinavian modernism through its restrained yet expressive form and emphasis on high-quality materials. Its thick clear glass and sculptural silhouette make it a timeless decorative object. The dimensions are 8.5 centimeters in width, 5.5 centimeters in depth, and 30 centimeters in height (3.3 x 2.2 x 11.8 inches).
