Handblown Cut Glass Vase by Gerda Strömberg for Strömbergshyttan

This tall super solid vase features beautiful translucent smokey-cinnamon cut crystal with faceted sides typical of the art deco period. The size and heavy weight of this vase makes it ideal for highlighting large stems, although it stands alone very nicely.

This lovely early example of Strömberg glass is in good condition with no cracks or repairs. It has some minor signs of visible surface wear commensurate with age, including wear at the base. 

Strömbergshyttan glassworks is synonymous with mid-century Swedish glass. Founded in 1876, it was originally named ‘Lindefors’ and later became known as Strömbergshyttan in 1933 once the husband-and-wife duo, Edvard and Gerda Strömberg, took over operations. Although the glassworks had suffered greatly during the Great Depression, the Strömbergs were able to turn the situation around and would become the eventual owners.
