A fine example of 1960s Scandinavian blown glass. Designed by Bo Borgström for Åseda Glasbruk of Sweden. It is in a crisp pale honey amber sommerso glass over clear with a single large controlled bubble in the base. 9½ inches tall. This form is often called a hyacinth bulb forcing vase.
Sommerso glass ("submerged" in Italian) features several layers of colored glass encased by clear glass. This difficult technique was developed by Antonio Da Ros and was perfected by Paolo Venini, however Flavio Poli of Seguso d'Arte popularized it.
