Hand blown Glass Vase by Gunnar Ander for Lindshammar Glasbruk

This original mid-century sommerso vase features hand blown clear glass that encases a duo pale honey tone underlay. It has a beautiful solid biomorphic form. This piece was designed by Gunnar Ander, who worked at Lindshammar glassworks in Sweden from 1949 until 1976. Ander was the first designer employed when the glassworks decided to expand into art glass. 

The vase is signed on the underside 'Lindshammar, Sweden, G.Ander 1301/210'. It is in good vintage condition with no cracks, repairs or discolouration. There is a tiny internal bubble from the glassmaking process and some light visible surface wear commensurate with age and use, which includes a small impact mark. See close up image.
