Description from the seller

This signed Kosta Boda vase is a refined example of Swedish art glass, designed by the renowned master Bertil Vallien between the late ’80s and the early ’90s. The work stands out for its blown glass body in delicate blush-pink tones, characterized by an essential and modern cylindrical silhouette. The chromatic break is a continuous spiral in neon yellow glass that wraps around the vase: the spirals, initially wide, tighten in the center, creating a dense graphic motif that adds dynamism and a touch of “pop” to the Scandinavian design. Signed at the base with serial number 98705, it is a collectible piece that perfectly balances the ethereal elegance of pink glass with the vibrant energy of the linear decoration.
