Vintage Strombergshyttan Art Glass Vase with Wheel-Engraved Parakeet on Botanical Spray - Orrefors Style
Serene, sculptural, and unmistakably Scandinavian — this vintage heavy art glass vase is a beautiful example of mid-century Swedish glass design. The substantial piece is cast in a gorgeous pale aqua blue glass with exceptional clarity and depth, formed into a distinctive squared shape with deeply chamfered corners that give it a bold, architectural quality.
The front face is decorated with a delicate wheel-engraved parakeet perched on a botanical spray — a graceful bird and branch rendered in fine frosted engraving that floats against the clear aqua ground with wonderful lightness. The base reveals the substantial weight of the piece and a characteristic molded oval pontil mark consistent with quality Swedish studio glass production. The style and quality are strongly consistent with Orrefors, Strombergshyttan, or Kosta Boda production of the 1950s–60s.
