A small but highly collectible art glass sculpture designed by Bertil Vallien for Kosta Boda, Sweden. Titled Entrance and catalogued as model 99318, this piece features Vallien’s distinctive geometric stair form — a recurring motif in his work, associated with journeys, thresholds, and transition.

Despite its compact size, the sculpture carries strong visual presence, combining architectural form with rich colour and light. It is signed by the artist and retains both its original label and its original presentation box, making it an exceptionally complete and collectible example of Vallien’s symbolic glass art from one of Sweden’s most celebrated glassmakers.

Produced for Kosta Boda in Sweden, this piece is a fine example of how Vallien translated monumental conceptual ideas into intimate, collectible objects.
