Description
This Scandinavian art glass vase was designed by Bengt Edenfalk for Skruf Glassworks, Sweden, during the 1960s. From his acclaimed Spun Series, it features richly hued purple glass wrapped in fine clear threads, creating a tactile, light-catching surface that beautifully captures Edenfalk’s signature modernist vision.
Hand-blown with a heavy clear base and slender neck, the vase achieves a perfect balance between sculptural form and delicate craftsmanship — a hallmark of Swedish mid-century design. The deep amethyst undertone enhances its luminosity, shifting in colour depending on the surrounding light.
