Hand-made Crystal Vase by Willy Johansson for Hadeland, Norway

This large ribbed-column vase features beautiful clear Norwegian crystal with internal bubbles. The bubbles are concentrated in the base and appear to rise, which creates a wonderful sense of movement and texture within the piece. This effect interacts with the light beautifully!

This vase belongs to the Atlantic series, which was designed by master glass artist Willy Johansson (1921 - 1993) for the notable Hadeland glassworks founded in 1762. The third generation glass blower worked at Hadeland Glassworks from 1936 until 1988. 

This piece is signed on the underside 'Hadeland (maker) WJ (designer)' and still retains its original label. It is in excellent vintage condition (outstanding for age) with no notches, cracks, repairs or discolouration.
