This elegant trapezoidal form exemplifies the refined geometry and modernist clarity of early Scandinavian design. The vase is beautifully decorated with a finely etched motif depicting a nude female figure in a graceful, elongated pose. The figure is rendered in a soft, frosted finish and is accompanied by subtle geometric and celestial elements, adding a poetic and distinctly Art Deco sensibility. Executed in high-quality Swedish crystal, the vase features sharply defined angles and a thick, weighty construction that enhances its architectural presence. The interplay between the clear glass and the matte etched decoration creates a sophisticated visual depth. A delicate engraved signature is present near the base, visible upon close inspection, further supporting the attribution to Kosta Glasbruk. This piece stands as an excellent example of early 20th-century Scandinavian glass artistry—both decorative and sculptural in nature.
