Engraved on the underside of this vase is ‘Kosta (maker) 42771 (4 = vase + production number) Lindstrand (designer)’ The vase is in excellent condition with a few small minor impact marks on edges. There are no heavy scratches, cracks, discolouration or repairs.

This original Modernist vase features super solid hand-formed cut clear crystal with irregular faceted sides. The movement that this creates in the vase is stunning and the light interacts with the design beautifully. This large vase impressively weighs over 5kg and is a testament to Lindstrand’s experimentation with the optic possibilities that cut glass allowed. The model LS2771 design dates from the 1966 Kosta catalogue. This version would have been produced sometime in the 70s when Kosta added '4' to the production numbering system to designate vases. Vicke Lindstrand retired in 1973 and Kosta was renamed in 1976 'Kosta Boda'.
