Description
An extraordinary collector's find: a magnificent 10-inch crystal bowl acquired from a Swedish designer's family estate in Stowe, Vermont. Believed to be a one-of-a-kind studio piece, this substantial work combines molded blooming flower form with delicately etched wildflower motifs—a stunning marriage of ancient glassmaking tradition and mid-century Scandinavian design.
The bowl itself is sculpted as an opening flower, with organic petal-like contours. Wildflowers are hand-etched across the crystal surface with masterful precision. Though unsigned, the quality and weight reveal expert craftsmanship—substantial crystal that captures and refracts light with almost alchemical beauty.
Generously sized and wonderfully versatile: perfect for presenting salads, serving fruit, floating flowers, or as pure sculptural display. This piece has that rare magic where centuries of European crystal craft meet modern restraint.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or cloudiness. Crystal retains brilliant clarity with crisp etching detail.
