Featuring the company’s iconic "Strömberg Blue" tint—a sophisticated, icy steel-blue hue—the piece showcases a dramatic sommerso technique where a teardrop-shaped interior is encased in thick, high-clarity lead crystal.

The form tapers elegantly from a polished, rounded-square rim to a weighted base, epitomizing the Space Age aesthetic of the 1950s and 60s. Hand-etched on the underside with the maker’s mark and model number (Strömbergshyttan B916), this piece is attributed to the celebrated design era of Asta Strömberg or Gunnar Nylund.

The vase has a significant, high-quality weight typical of fine Swedish crystal, giving it excellent stability as a tabletop accent.
