A beautiful piece of Swedish glass. Designed by Vicke Lindstrand and intaglio decorated with a kneeling nude holding a ball aloft. Vicke Lindstrand was their top designer and worked for Kosta from 1950 to 1973.
The base is diamond point etched Kosta Boda 83 and it stands 21cm high. The photos only suggest the quality of this piece. It is superb but being clear glass is very tricky to photograph.
