The form is defined by a wide, flared rim rising from a contrasting pedestal base, creating a sculptural profile that emphasizes lift and proportion. The surface is worked in layered glass with a mottled treatment, producing tonal variation across a pastel palette of coral, green, and turquoise.

This example reflects Engman’s contribution to late 20th-century Swedish glass, where a more expressive, color-driven approach emerged within Kosta Boda’s studio production. The composition balances chromatic contrast with controlled form, allowing the piece to function equally as a vessel and as a sculptural object within an interior.

Signed to the base, it represents a recognized series within Kosta Boda and remains a clear example of postmodern Scandinavian art glass.
