Mid-Century Scandinavian Hand-Blown Art Glass Vase, Turquoise, circa 1965
This mid-century Scandinavian art glass vase is distinguished by its sculptural silhouette, cylindrical body, short neck and broad, open rim. Hand-blown in a turquoise blue glass, the piece incorporates irregular mottled inclusions and fine linear movement within the glass mass, creating a rich sense of depth and an individual character.
The bold geometry and expressive use of color reflect the experimental spirit of Scandinavian glassmaking during the mid-20th century, when functional vessels were increasingly conceived as independent decorative objects. Its balanced proportions and tactile visual texture give the vase a strong architectural presence while preserving the clarity and restraint associated with Scandinavian Modern design.
Displayed alone, with flowers, or as part of a collection of art glass, it brings color, light and sculptural interest to a contemporary or mid-century interior.
Condition: Good, light wear consistent with age; no visible chips or cracks. Dimensions: 9.5 in H x 5.8 in W x 5.8 in D.
