Executed in softly frosted white glass, the vase is animated by embedded threads of blue, green, and yellow glass that drift organically across the surface, creating a luminous, abstract composition.

The form is gently flattened and rounded, allowing the internal colorwork to remain the visual focus. Subtle translucency and matte texture give the piece a sculptural presence that shifts beautifully with changing light. The vase is signed on the base, confirming authenticity.

Produced during the late 1970s–1980s, this work reflects Vallien’s experimental approach to color, material, and movement—hallmarks of Kosta Boda’s golden era of studio art glass.
