Description from the seller
Bertil Vallien – Kosta Boda "Boda Zoo" – reindeer
A beautiful and extremely decorative sculpture of art glass, designed by one of the most esteemed Swedish glass designers – Bertil Vallien – for Boda/Kosta Boda in Sweden. The piece comes from the popular Boda Zoo series, created in the 1970s.

Pristine condition, with no chips or cracks. The glass has retained its beautiful luster, clarity, and characteristic texture.
