crafted in richly coloured teal cased glass, the form is both elegant and bold — featuring a rounded bowl with subtle optical banding, raised on a knop stem and wide circular foot. The weight and clarity of the glass, combined with its soft internal movement, exemplify the refined craftsmanship associated with swedish studio glass of the mid-20th century.

the base is hand-engraved with a distinctive angular “b” initial followed by a model number, consistent with early kosta signing practices linked to elis bergh.

a versatile decorative piece, ideal as a centrepiece or display object, equally suited to both modern and traditional interiors.
