Description from the seller

Kumela Art Glass Vase by Kaj Blomqvist, Finland

A striking vintage Finnish art glass vase designed by Kaj Blomqvist for Kumela, Riihimäki. The vase is crafted in rich amber-brown glass, with a sculptural, organic form characteristic of Finnish glass design of the period.

The irregular textured sides contrast beautifully with the smoother central surfaces, creating an appearance reminiscent of natural rock, bark or melting ice. The substantial glass construction and asymmetrical rim give the piece a strong sculptural presence, making it equally suitable as a functional vase or a standalone decorative object.

The original Kumela Riihimäki – Made in Finland label remains attached.

Designer: Kaj Blomqvist
Manufacturer: Kumela, Riihimäki, Finland

Condition: Vintage condition with age-related wear. Please refer to photographs for the exact condition.
