Description
This 1960s vase from Åseda Glasbruk is the kind of piece that earns its place on a shelf without demanding attention — it simply holds the light beautifully and stays there. Designed by Bo Borgström, the form is quietly assured: a rounded body that tapers upward into a flared neck, anchored by a solid cobalt foot that gives the whole thing a grounded, modern balance.
The colour is what draws you in first. A vibrant turquoise blue that deepens to rich cobalt tones at the base — a combination that feels both of its era and entirely timeless. This is hand-blown art glass made with genuine craft, and it shows.
