A sommerso vase featuring solid clear handblown crystal that encases a violet underlay. It has a beautiful tear-drop form and biomorphic-shaped cavity with a narrow opening ideal for long stems.

This example may have been designed by Gunnar Nylund or his earlier designs may have inspired Asta Strömberg to create this piece, as she also designed for Strömbergshyttan glassworks during the mid-century period.

The vase carries its original label and is in excellent condition (outstanding for age) with no notches, cracks, repairs or discolouration.
