Description
This generous hand-blown art glass vase carries the warmth and quiet confidence of mid-century Swedish design. Made by Sea Glasbruk — the glassworks established in 1956 by Inge Samuelsson, Sven Ernstsson, and Tore Andersson, whose initials gave the studio its name — it was produced as part of the broader Kosta Boda family. The electric blue colour is vivid and deeply saturated, shifting beautifully in natural light, while the ruffle top adds a sculptural, expressive edge that sets it apart from more restrained Scandinavian forms.
Pieces like this one occupy a lovely middle ground: substantial enough to anchor a shelf or mantelpiece, yet light-spirited enough to hold a stem or two of flowers. Whether displayed alone or arranged, it brings genuine retro character to a space without demanding attention.
