About the Item
Rare mid-century modernist art glass vase was created by Bengt Orup for Johansfors Glasbruk, Sweden, in 1960s as a part of Spontana line. It is decorated with swirling, organic shapes in solid cobalt blue, light blue, and beige within finely speckled, heavy glass body. Microbubbles and fine particles add blue tint and subtle glow to clear glass.
Bengt Orup (1916-1996) was on the leading glass designers in 20th century. He never made a clear distinction between works of art and objects of use, and his work with Johansfors Glassworks in 1950-1970 resulted in many well-known, iconic pieces. He is represented in Swedish National Museum of Art and Design and Victoria and Albert Museum, among other museums and institutions.
