Hand-blown Glass Vase by Vicke Lindstrand for Kosta

This beautiful mid-century sommerso glass vase features opaque mint green with a  transparent twilight-blue base.

Vicke Lindstrand’s work was largely undervalued during his lifetime – in fact, at one point his work was even rejected by the Design in Scandinavia exhibition committee. This attitude was largely due to Lindstrand’s tendency to courageously experiment with both glass and ceramics in an innovative way that at times diverged from Swedish mid-century trends.

This piece is in excellent vintage condition with no notches, cracks, repairs or discolouration. Engraved on the underside of this vase is ‘Kosta (maker) LH (Lindstrand + Hand-formed) 1317/73 (production number)’
