Orrefors - Vase - Crystal - Sven Palmqvist

Beautiful, vintage design vase from the renowned Swedish glassworks Orrefors.
This elegant piece was designed in the 1950s (circa 1953) by the master glass designer Sven Palmqvist.
The vase is made of heavy, high-quality crystal glass using the refined 'Sommerso' (underfång) technique.
This involves a stylish smoke-gray to light-blue glass core subtly encapsulated in a thick layer of clear crystal.
This creates a stunning play of light and a timeless, organic appearance.
The base is fully authentic and hand-signed/engraved: Orrefors PU 3497.
The letter 'P' stands for designer Sven Palmqvist and the 'U' indicates uncut, smooth glass (uncut).
A beautiful collectible for enthusiasts of Scandinavian mid-century modern glassware.
