Kosta Boda – Anna Ehrner – Heavy Engraved Crystal Vase A substantial, hand-blown thick crystal vase by acclaimed Swedish glass designer Anna Ehrner, produced by Kosta — Sweden's oldest glassworks, founded in 1742, and the founding factory of the Kosta Boda group. The exterior is finely engraved with a naturalistic pine branch and berry motif. The base carries a diamond-point engraved signature reading "Kosta 48028 A. Ehrner." Anna Ehrner is regarded as one of Sweden's national treasure glass designers, working at Kosta Boda since the 1970s; her work is held in the collection of the Swedish National Museum of Design (Nationalmuseum). This is a remarkably heavy piece at 2405g, with the thick, weighty walls typical of genuine hand-blown Kosta crystal — a hallmark of quality in Scandinavian art glass. Condition: The exterior surface is in excellent condition, smooth with virtually no visible scratches. There is minor adhesive residue on the base from a former anti-slip pad. Please note a small chip of approx. 1mm to the inner rim of the mouth (visible in photos). Dimensions: Height 16.6cm; oval mouth measuring 13.5cm (major axis) × 9cm (minor axis).
