This is a lovely understated piece of 1950s Art Glass which was design by the Swedish glass maestro, Vicke Lindstrand for Kosta Glass - as stamped on the bottom.
Lindstrand (1904 - 1983) was one of the pioneers of Swedish glass. He began working at Orrefors in 1928 - and pioneered the Aerial glass technique. In the 1940s he moved to Uppsala Ekeby where he concentrated on designing ceramics.
He returned to glass design in the 1950s - but didn't return to Orrefors Glass - but to the other leading glass firm, Kosta, where he was appointed artistic director.
You find examples of Lindstrand's work in many international museums and collections.
This lovely iconic design by Lindstrand - it is signed Kosta LH 1089 - and this dates the vase to 1955.
It is more of a minimalistic form and design - but would look good in the stylish mid-century modern interior.
The base is a thick clear layer - and the main body is clear with mutli-colour threads of black, white, and red running through it.
The vase is 7 inches in height - and at the widest point, it is just over 3 1/2 inches.
A substantial piece of glass for its size - it weighs 1.1 kg.
This is a highly collectable piece by Lindstrand - and this is reflected in my asking price.
