Its cylindrical form, slightly tapering towards the bottom, terminates in a delicately flared rim. The base color is a matte, milky white with a subtle opalescent effect, giving the surface a cool, translucent character. The most recognizable detail is the convex, cobalt blue glass thread, hand-applied in an organic, free-form pattern that wraps the entire surface of the vase. The shiny thread contrasts with the satin background, creating depth and emphasizing the object's tactile qualities. The absence of a signature is consistent with the practice of the Pallme-Koenig manufacture, which rarely marked its products. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
