Elevate your collection or tabletop decor with this striking mid-century Swedish art glass sculpture titled "Iceberg with Polar Bears." Designed by the legendary glass innovator Vicke Lindstrand for the historic Kosta glassworks (Sweden) during the 1960s, this heavy crystal block beautifully captures the essence of the Arctic landscape.
The sculpture is masterfully crafted with jagged, organic contours that catch and refract light like a real glacier. The smooth, flat base is intricately hand-etched with a frosted, intaglio scene depicting a pair of walking polar bears tucked inside an ice cave.
A highly collectible find for enthusiasts of Scandinavian modern and 20th-century design.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with no major chips, cracks, or fleabites. Shows minimal, age-appropriate wear to the underside base.
Markings:
Fully authenticated. Retains its original, rare mid-century clear foil "Kosta Sweden" three-point crown label on the lower corner. Hand-signed and numbered by the artist on the polished bottom rim: "Kosta V. Lindstrand."
