Description from the seller

Monica Backström for Kosta Boda – a rare vintage vase in artistic glass

A beautiful and extremely distinctive vase of artistic glass designed by Monica Backström for Kosta Boda, Sweden.

The vase features an striking, geometric, slightly asymmetrical form made of milky white, opaque glass, adorned with decorative, flowing applications in blue and a delicate yellow-green. The applied bands create an abstract, painterly pattern that looks different depending on the viewing angle.

The combination of a simple, modern form with expressive glass decoration fits perfectly with the aesthetics of Scandinavian modernism and Mid-Century Modern.

This is a highly decorative and collectible item that works well as both a vase and a standalone decorative object.
