A tall Swedish art glass vase defined by a dramatic tulip-form silhouette and saturated ruby coloration. The curving body rises from a clear pedestal base, creating a strong visual lift that intensifies the luminous red glass when illuminated. Fine suspended air inclusions add subtle texture and depth, giving the surface a lively optical character. At twelve inches tall, the piece reads as a sculptural decorative object with strong interior presence rather than a purely functional vessel.
Attribution & Period
Swedish art glass, 1970s, stylistically aligned with Åseda Glasbruk.
The pedestal tulip profile, monochrome saturated color, and internal bubble texture are consistent with Swedish decorative glass produced during the 1970s. The overall proportions and form language align closely with examples attributed to Åseda Glasbruk, including designs associated with Bo Borgström. No factory mark observed; attribution remains visual rather than documented.
Dimensions & Weight
Condition
This is in excellent condition, with no observed cracks, scratches, or chips. While the base shows minimal handling wear consistent with its age, the only notable intentional features are minor internal air bubbles from production, which are typical of studio or Scandinavian art glass.
Authenticity & Construction
Hand-blown art glass with a fused pedestal base. The vessel was formed through traditional glassblowing techniques, producing the continuous tulip-form body and flared rim. Metallic oxides create the intense ruby coloration, while controlled air inclusions produce the subtle internal texture visible throughout the glass. The clear pedestal foot provides structural support while visually separating the form from the surface beneath it, a construction detail frequently used in Scandinavian decorative glass.
Placement
This piece works best as a sculptural decorative accent on a console, pedestal, or credenza. The height and vivid color allow it to function as a focal point in a room, particularly when placed where natural or directional light can illuminate the glass and emphasize its luminous red tone.
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.
