This refined two-piece ensemble consists of a tall sculptural vase and a matching bowl, both executed in beautifully shaded art glass characteristic of Scandinavian modern design. The vase features a slender, elongated silhouette with a gently flared neck, transitioning from a deep teal-green upper section into clear glass toward the base. The accompanying bowl echoes the same tonal gradient, creating a harmonious pairing. Both pieces demonstrate the clean lines, balanced proportions, and subtle color transitions associated with Orup’s work during the 1960s. The original Johansfors label is present on the vase, adding to its authenticity and collectibility. A striking mid-century Scandinavian set—displayed together they create an elegant vertical and horizontal contrast, yet each piece also stands beautifully on its own.
