Elegant Orrefors crystal decanter, model 1946, featuring a deeply wheel‑engraved scene of a bathing woman among reeds with fish below. The rectilinear body has gently waved edges and is topped by a flat block stopper. Signed on the base 'Orrefors N 1946 C6 A.R.', denoting designer Nils Landberg and a 1958 production date.

This design embodies the best of mid‑century Swedish craftsmanship: restrained architectural form balanced with lyrical engraving. The clarity, weight, and precision finishing convey true Scandinavian modern luxury.
