ABOUT PRODUCTID 17185
This small vase, designed by Bertil Vallien and produced by the renowned Swedish glassworks Kosta Boda in the 1980s, is handcrafted from matte, frosted glass. The form is cylindrical with straight sides and a flat, round base (height 8.5 cm, width 7.5 cm). The dominant tone is a cool, slightly translucent white with a subtle gradient effect, achieved through the frosted glass technique. On one side, three vertical, irregular stripes in yellow, pinkish-lilac, and purple gently interrupt the white surface, providing a modern, artistic accent characteristic of late 20th-century Scandinavian design. The original Kosta Boda label attests to its authenticity. The glass is in excellent, collector's condition, showing no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.
This piece conveys the narrative typical of the Scandinavian design scene of the late twentieth century, where minimalism is paired with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship. The matte finish softly diffuses the light, while the pastel lines evoke the atmosphere of northern spring dawns—as if the vase itself whispers about the delicacy of color in the Swedish landscape. The composition is tranquil and balanced, yet the presence of color introduces a sense of play and experimentation, echoing Vallien’s distinctive touch.
The vase can be combined with white or light grey ceramics, a shallow glass bowl, or minimalist sculpture, forming a subtle arrangement on a sideboard in the living room. It works well in interiors inspired by the Scandinavian, modernist, or japandi style—gaining character when placed against wood, concrete, or cool pastels. It may be set atop a shelf beside graphic prints or displayed as a solo accent with a single branch, highlighting the delicacy of its form.
