Purple Frosted Vase
Vicke Lindstrand
Orrefores, Sweden, 1930s
£1,000
Description:
A frosted purple vase designed by Swedish glass designer, Vicke Lindstrand, for Orrefors during the 1930s.
Linstrand began working at the Swedish glass manufacturer, Orrefors, in 1928. With an interest in drawing and a background in commercial illustration, Linstrand brought figurative flair to many of his later works for Kosta Boda in the 1950s. However, this early piece, designed in the 1930s for Orrefors, demonstrates much soberer ornamentation.
Sliced diagonally, half of this spherical vase is opaque and frosted, whilst the lower half is a translucent, plum-hued glass.
