Description
This tall cobalt blue vase belongs to the Spun Series designed by Bengt Edenfalk for Skruf Glassworks in Sweden during the 1960s. The series takes its name from the textured spun-glass surface that wraps the body — a technique that gives the glass its quietly tactile, almost woven quality. The slender tapered form feels considered and calm, every inch a product of Scandinavian restraint.
The deep cobalt blue shifts with the light, moving between rich midnight tones and brighter clarity depending on how the piece is placed. The clear base provides visual contrast, grounding the colour and allowing the form to breathe. It is equally at home displayed alone on a shelf or grouped within a collection of Swedish art glass.
