This delicious handblown art glass is by Bertil Vallien, internationally celebrated Swedish glass artist, sculptor, ceramist and designer. It is from the collectable' Antikva' series designed in 1977 and from the' Artist Collection' for (Kosta) Boda, one of the worlds leading glassworks. The Artist Collection concept was introduced by Vallien to give glass artists the freedom for personal, creative expression and to remove the' mass produced' feeling. Pieces are limited edition studio works, individual to the artist that created them. The Sea-Green hexagonal bottle vase is finished with a striated Marigold yellow neck (model 47834) and is crafted from a combination of Sea-Green and Lime-Green frit glass.

The frit glass technique merges fragments of colored glass in clear glass to create the closely freckled effect, similar to the drifting within a snow-globe. Beautifully Modernist, this piece is both sculpturally geometric yet organic and unique from its handblown crafting process.

Kosta Boda is one of the world's leading brands of glassware and art glass. Technology and an understanding of glass have been refined here in the heart of the forests in the Swedish province of Småland ever since 1742. Their glassware is vibrant, bold, innovative and provocative. It stands out and takes centre stage.

Kosta Boda is true passion. Kosta Boda's designers are some of the most renowned - not just in Sweden, but worldwide.

Their common denominator is a passion for exploring the possibilities of glass, always stretching the limits of what is feasible. The techniques used are both classical and brand new, often developed by the craftspeople in the glassworks as they work on transforming the designers' ideas into products. The close dialogue between the designers and skilled craftspeople takes place on a daily basis and continues to form the foundation for creating unique glassware to delight people today and future generations. Bertil Vallien is by far the most internationally celebrated glass artist and designer in Sweden. He has received numerous awards and his work is well represented in leading museums around the world. He works in a mythical, dream-like world of symbolic imagery. He undertakes what he himself describes as a never-ending research quest, in close cooperation with his co-workers, at Åfors glassworks, several of whom have worked with Vallien for decades.
