Description :

An elegant mid-century art glass vase of clear crystal with a faint icy-blue tint, featuring a thick-walled freeform body rising from a rounded pedestal base. The oval contour and clarity highlight fine Scandinavian craftsmanship, with crisp refractions and subtle optical depth. The design embodies the clean modernist aesthetic associated with Swedish crystal studios of the 1950s–1960s, merging sculptural presence with minimalist refinement.

A hand-etched signature appears on the underside, partially worn and illegible, but consistent in style and placement with known Strömbergshyttan etchings. Its form and tonal quality suggest it was likely designed by Asta Strömberg, whose pieces are prized for their understated symmetry and balance.

Maker: Likely Strömbergshyttan, Sweden

Designer: Possibly Asta Strömberg

Period: Mid-20th Century (circa 1960s)

Material: Lead crystal glass

Dimensions: Approx. 6.5" H × 5" W (top diameter)

Mark: Hand-etched signature to base, partially illegible

Form: Oval freeform bowl with solid pedestal base


Collecting Note:

Pieces from Strömbergshyttan are distinguished by their exceptional clarity and pale blue cast, achieved through a unique glass formula developed in Sweden. Asta Strömberg’s designs remain among the most collectible of the studio’s output, celebrated for their precision, harmony, and weightless transparency.
