Description from the seller
Studiolasi Oy – sculptural vase in amethyst-purple and clear glass – Finland – late 20th century (last quarter)
Special sculptural art glass vase from Studiolasi Oy from Kuortti, Pertunmaa in Finland, featuring the original studio sticker. The deep amethyst to aubergine purple inner layer is enveloped by a thick layer of colorless glass. This glass construction creates a beautiful submerged-like effect, where the color varies from intense purple to almost black depending on the light.
The flattened, organic shape and the diagonally cut opening give the vase a pronounced modernist character. With a depth of only 3.2 cm, the slender side view contrasts nicely with the wide, teardrop-shaped front. Even without flowers, the vase is a decorative glass object.
Studiolasi was founded in 1977 by former employees of Riihimäen Lasi. The year on the sticker refers to that founding; the exact production year and the designer of this vase have not been established.
Dimensions: H 20 cm × W 11.5 cm × D 3.2 cm
Weight: 998 grams
The vase is in excellent vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or deep scratches, showing a natural patina of age and use. The original sticker is intact.
This item will be shipped safely with Smart Shipping and insured, with tracking and trace.
