​Masterfully blown from heavy, brilliant Scandinavian clear crystal, this minimalist barware classic features a sleek cylindrical body that tapers gracefully to a flared rim. The hallmark of the Pippi series is its sculptural weight and the single, perfectly controlled, suspended teardrop air bubble trapped within the thick, heavy sham base. This captivating element is beautifully mirrored inside the original solid glass spherical stopper.
A quintessential example of postwar Swedish modernism, this sculptural piece is as functional as it is aesthetic. Crucially for serious collectors, this specimen still retains its original "Kosta / Sweden" maker's label on the base.
