ABOUT PRODUCTID 16752
This glass tealight holder, designed by Anna Ehrner for Kosta Boda, features a spherical form with a diameter of 10.5 cm and a height of 9 cm. Crafted in Sweden during the 1980s, it embodies Scandinavian minimalism: an organic, smooth globe with a subtly flattened base for stability and a gently beveled top opening for the candle. The hand-blown glass is rendered in a deep cobalt blue, displaying nuanced variations—some areas are lighter and more transparent, others denser and darker, creating intricate light play. Artistic air bubbles and swirling streaks within the glass speak to the handcrafted, studio-glass ethos of its era. The glossy, highly reflective surface is marked by the clear 'KOSTA BODA' signature near the rim. The piece is in very good condition, showing only the light micro-wear expected for its age. Within this glass sphere, there resonates the voice of Scandinavian design from its period—a balance of material spontaneity and defined function. The intense blue refracts candlelight with a liquid brilliance, evoking the clarity of a Nordic lake at dawn. The glass structure—irregular streaks and natural bubbles—renders each holder unique, narrating the story of artisan work and the search for equilibrium between raw material and artistic vision. It is a quiet spark of 1980s style, captured in a refined, tactile object. This holder may be paired with other hand-blown glass pieces to form a subtle ensemble of color and texture on a coffee table. It will suit modern, minimalist interiors dominated by natural materials—light wood, cool metals, matte ceramics—or stand out as a counterpoint amid geometric forms or classic simplicity. It is also worth combining with smooth textiles or porcelain tableware, allowing its organic contour and bold
