Titled "Hästen" (The Horse), the vase showcases the legendary and technically demanding Ariel technique, which Orrefors masterfully perfected. The design features a stunning, highly stylized motif of horses, meticulously formed through controlled air bubbles encapsulated within the thick walls of the clear glass. Combined with masterful internal cutting and engraving, the air pockets create a mesmerizing, three-dimensional graphic contrast that beautifully plays with light and transparency.
Standing at a compact yet visually powerful 15 cm in height, this sculptural vase perfectly represents Lundin’s poetic, modernist aesthetic. Pieces from Orrefors' Ariel series are considered pinnacles of 20th-century glass art and are highly sought after by museums and serious international collectors alike.
