This vintage "Jungfru" (Virgin) decanter was designed in 1961 by the trailblazing Swedish ceramicist and glass designer Signe Persson-Melin for Boda Glasbruk. Marrying architectural geometry with organic warmth, the carafe features a striking, oversized cylindrical neck that drops sharply into a low, compressed globular base—a silhouette that feels remarkably contemporary.
True to Persson-Melin’s signature ethos of elevating everyday utilitarian objects, the decanter is paired with its iconic, oversized turned-cork stopper. The tactile quality of the natural cork offers a beautiful, grounded counterpoint to the clarity of the Swedish soda glass. Whether anchoring a mid-century bar cart or serving as a minimalist vessel for water or wine at the table, this piece captures the essence of honest, Scandinavian studio design.
