Mouth-blown Glass Vase by Kaj Franck for Nuutajärvi Notsjö

This beautiful large vase features handblown solid amber crystal with internal bubbles. It was designed by Kaj Franck for his 'Sargasso' series. This model was in production between 1971 and 1975. 

Kaj Franck (1911 – 1989) was a very influential Finnish designer whose design practice truly embodies the democratic values of his native country. Described as ‘the conscience of Finnish design’, Franck created simple, yet stunningly beautiful work that typically consisted of striking geometric forms and bold colours. A strong advocate for the importance of recycling, the designer shunned materialism, excess and throwaway culture, in favour of timeless, enduring and minimalist designs.

Etched on the underside of this vase is 'Nuutajarvi Notsjo'. It is in excellent vintage condition with no cracks, notches, repairs or discolouration.
