Elevate your collection with this striking Mid-Century Modern Scandinavian masterpiece.
Designed by the legendary master glassmaker Sven Palmqvist for the world-renowned Swedish studio Orrefors, this iconic "Lucid Drop" or "Teardrop" vase is an absolute triumph of organic design.
It features an exquisite internal suspension bubble that beautifully distorts light, capturing the fluid essence of liquid crystal.
This is a remarkably substantial, heavy-gauge art glass piece that demands attention. Crafted from premium, high-refractive-index lead crystal, it weighs an impressive 1.49kg despite its elegant proportions.
The piece is in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting the pristine clarity and structural brilliance expected of investment-grade Orrefors crystal.
