This sculptural vase exemplifies the refined experimentation of Swedish glass design during the 1960s.

The vase features a dramatic teardrop form in a deep smoky grey—approaching black—encased in a layer of clear crystal. The contrast between the dark inner core and the transparent exterior creates remarkable depth and visual clarity, lending the piece an elegant, almost architectural presence. Both minimal and expressive, the design reflects the era’s fascination with Space Age aesthetics while remaining timeless and sophisticated.

The vase is in good vintage condition, with minor abrasions to the underside and a few microscopic soot inclusions consistent with the handblown process and age. Overall, it remains a beautifully preserved and highly collectible example of Scandinavian art glass.
