The 'Amber & Cobalt Blue' vase was made in the 1960s at Sweden’s Orrefors glassworks—a notable example of Scandinavian mid-century modern design. Tall and slender (26 cm high, 9 cm wide and deep), the vase is crafted from hand-blown glass. Its transparent amber body gently flares towards the rim, while the base contrasts boldly in deep cobalt blue, shaped into a ring of rounded, bubble-like elements. The surface is smooth, glossy, and uniform, highlighting the clarity of the glass and the precision of its form. Free from decorative embellishments, the vase’s character is defined by its proportions, color contrast, and subtly sculptural base. It is preserved in good vintage condition, with minor scratches and signs of age consistent with its era.This piece tells the story of Swedish glassmaking in the 1960s, when artistic glass explored the interplay of light and color. Its amber body seems to capture daylight like a Nordic summer, while the cobalt base evokes the depth of the sea. The bubble motif at the base hints at playful experimentation and a tactile sensibility—almost as if the vase were intent on holding a fleeting moment of light within its walls, creating a dialogue between clarity and intensity.In a mid-century modern collection, the vase could be displayed on an oak console or minimalist light wood shelf, where its colors accentuate natural materials and ambient light. It could be paired with a single branch, dried grass, or a striking flower to emphasize its slender silhouette. It may also be combined with other mid-century art glass or ceramics in muted tones, allowing the vase’s colors to stand out as a focal point against a restrained composition.
