This sculptural cased glass vase possesses a commanding geometric silhouette and deep material richness. The vibrant cobalt core is suspended within a thick emerald casing, creating a luminous, two-tone interplay of light and color depth. Designed with a clean, architectural taper, it serves as a sophisticated focal point for modern or transitional interiors. Its heavy-walled construction and saturated palette make it a compelling decorative object for any curated design collection.
Attribution & Period
Severin Brørby for Hadeland Glassverk, Norway. Signed "Hadeland 7018 SB" on the base. This piece is the iconic Model 7018 (part of the "Blokk" or "K-7000" series), originally designed circa 1969. The form and "K-glass" technique are stylistically aligned with Brørby's award-winning mid-century work, which earned the Norwegian Award for Design Excellence in 1970.
Hadeland Glassverk, Norway. Signed and dated 2018. This piece is a modern archive production of the iconic "Blokk" (Block) series originally designed by Severin Brørby in 1969. The hand-etched signature "Hadeland 2018 SB" confirms its origin from the Hadeland studio, produced as part of a heritage revival of Brørby's award-winning mid-century designs. The form and "K-glass" technique are stylistically aligned with the factory's 1970 Award for Design Excellence winners.
Dimensions & Weight
• Height: 6frac{1}{16} text{ in}
• Mouth: 1frac{5}{8} text{ in} times 3frac{7}{16} text{ in}
• Base: 1frac{5}{16} text{ in} times 2frac{5}{16} text{ in}
• Weight: 1.98 text{ lbs}
Condition
The piece shows a significant internal crack extending upward from the base through the blue glass core. Minor surface shelf wear and light scratches are present on the base consistent with display. No exterior chips, fleabites, or restorations were observed.
Authenticity & Construction
Hand-crafted using the difficult cased glass technique, where a molten blue glass gather is dipped into a secondary green glass melt to create a "glass-within-glass" aesthetic. The heavy-walled construction provides the exceptional clarity and refractive power characteristic of Hadeland’s high-end studio glass. The signature remains crisp and legible on the polished base.
Placement
Ideal for a low-profile credenza, a brightly lit library shelf, or as part of a window-side grouping. This piece is best displayed where natural backlighting can fully activate the luminous contrast between the emerald exterior and cobalt interior.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE; This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique glass objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than a guaranteed maker identification.
