The Ice Glass candle holder/paperweight from the 1970s is a Scandinavian utilitarian object crafted from thick, pressed glass. Its compact, cylindrical form measures approximately 5 cm in height and 7.5 cm in diameter. The primary color is a clear white, subtly tinged with a cool blue hue, enhancing the impression of an ice block. The surface combines smooth areas with gently textured, uneven patches, faithfully evoking the irregularities of natural ice. The glossy finish and lack of fittings or decorative additions remain true to the mid-century modern and Scandinavian minimalist aesthetic. A broad base ensures stability, while its collectible character is underscored by its very good vintage condition – free from chips or cracks, with only minor surface marks consistent with authentic pieces from the 1970s. Within this object’s crystal glass lies the cool precision of 1970s Northern Europe, where function and form met in daily objects and light—scattered on the irregular glass surface—echoed the brief, bright days of the Scandinavian winter. Every detail, from the softly rounded edges to the pristine sheen, conjures the sense of a frozen fragment, quietly telling the story of an era in which design was intended to be as useful as it was unobtrusive. As a silent witness to past decades, it brings a sense of calm, reflecting light like a drop of ice held in time. This candle holder or paperweight can be paired with minimalist accessories—such as raw wood, matte ceramics, or brushed metal—to accentuate the icy character of the glass. It works well within modern Scandinavian interiors or in eclectic, collector’s spaces
