Crafted in a brilliant, high-lead white opaline crystal, the piece features a luminous, pearlescent quality that distinguishes it from standard milk glass.

The dramatic, organic silhouette is achieved through the traditional "swung" technique, where the molten glass is hand-stretched to create a unique, undulating rim. This specific model (model number 9918) represents the height of the Swedish Studio Glass movement, blending the historic quality of the Strömbergshyttan furnace with a modern, sculptural aesthetic.

The vase retains its original "Studioglas Strömbergshyttan" label and is hand-signed on the base with the artist's initials (AÖ) and model number. It is a substantial, weighted piece of lead crystal that serves as a sophisticated focal point for a minimalist mantle or a curated Scandinavian Modern collection.
