Norwegian Cased Glass Vase, Severin Brørby for Hadeland

US$450.00

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.

Mouth: 1frac{5}{8} text{ in} times 3frac{7}{16} text{ in}

Base: 1frac{5}{16} text{ in} times 2frac{5}{16} text{ in}

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.
