Authentic mid-century Scandinavian elegant art glass piece, designed by the legendary Bertil Vallien for the Boda / Åfors glassworks (Sweden) during the mid-1960s.
Part of his celebrated "Basun" (Blå Serien) collection, this piece features a highly distinctive silhouette characterized by a deep, semi-translucent petroleum teal-blue color, a bulbous lower midsection, and beautiful hand-applied decorative side knobs (prunts).
Measuring an impressive 14.5 cm tall with a 6 cm rim diameter, this is the coveted large red wine goblet size from the original tableware line.
The base features a heavy, raw snapped pontil mark, proving its hand-blown, studio-crafted provenance
While the original paper factory label has washed away over the decades, the design fingerprints are unmistakable. It is in absolute flawless vintage condition with no chips, cracks, flea bites, or internal hard-water cloudiness.
While originally intended as a wine glass, its substantial presence and gorgeous color make it a spectacular standalone mid-century modern statement piece, a unique bud vase, or an eye-catching tea light candle holder.
