This vase has a quiet elegance that comes from light, proportion, and color rather than decoration. The aquamarine tone feels fresh and airy, while the faceted form gives it a crisp rhythm that suits both softer Scandinavian interiors and more collected Art Deco settings. Especially lovely where daylight can move through it.

Vicke Lindstrand (1904–1983) was one of the key figures in Swedish glass design. He joined Orrefors in 1928, worked there during its formative modern period, and is especially associated with elegant engraved crystal, technical innovation, and a refined balance between Art Deco and Swedish modernism.

Orrefors is one of the central names in Swedish art glass. Founded in 1898 in Småland, it built its reputation on crystal of exceptional clarity and on close collaborations with leading designers, becoming a defining force in 20th-century Scandinavian glass.
