Vicke Lindstrand Vase

Hand-blown Glass Vase by Vicke Lindstrand for Kosta This elegant tall minimalist vase features heavy clear hand-blown glass with an internal black swirl that is reflected within the piece. It was designed by the famous Vicke Lindstrand for Kosta glassworks in the 1950s. 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. Etched on the underside of this vase is ‘Kosta (maker) LH (designer + glass type) 1 240 (production number/year)’. It i s in excellent vintage condition with no discolouration, repairs or cracks. There is a very small visible fleabite at the rim, please see close up photo. Learn more about the famous designer Vicke Lindstrand here !
