Handblown Glass Vase by Vicke Lindstrand for Kosta

This vase features super solid clear handblown crystal with an ovoid cavity encased by a lattice underlay of dark purple swirls. 

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.

Engraved on the underside of this vase is ‘Kosta (maker) LH (Lindstrand + hand-formed) 1381 (production number/year)’ It is in excellent vintage condition with no notches, heavy scratches, cracks or repairs.
