Description
A beautifully signed art glass vase from Bengt Edenfalk’s Spun series, produced at Skruf Glasbruk in Sweden. Layers of clear and smoky grey glass build a deeply textured cylindrical surface that catches and diffuses light, giving the piece a quiet sense of movement from every angle. Despite its compact scale, it carries genuine visual presence — strong enough to stand alone on a shelf or sideboard, or equally graceful holding a few simple stems.
The Spun series represents the clean modernism that defined Swedish post-war glass design: restrained in colour, considered in form, and technically assured. The interplay of texture and transparency is the whole point — understated at a glance, endlessly interesting on closer inspection. It is the kind of piece that rewards living with it.
