IKEA Stockholm Maria Vinka Red blown-glass vase 1999

Elegant translucent red glass vase from the IKEA Stockholm collection, designed in the late 1990s. This model is attributed to Swedish designer Maria Vinka and bears under its base the original marking IKEA STOCKHOLM, 18347, IKEA Systems B.V. 1999 – Made in Poland.

The piece stands out for its generous, rounded volume, almost sculptural, and for its thick, widely flared and carefully rolled neck. The glass shows a beautiful translucent ruby red hue, particularly luminous when the vase is placed in front of a light source.

Made of blown glass, this vase embodies the Stockholm collection's aim to offer objects with simple lines but with a real decorative presence. Its weight and the substantial thickness of the glass give it a strong impression of solidity and quality.

Model 18347 is now sought after by enthusiasts of vintage IKEA design, Scandinavian glass, and Maria Vinka’s creations. Comparable examples have recently been offered at auction, notably on Catawiki.
