Here is a sophisticated piece of Scandinavian art glass history. This hand-blown bud vase was designed by the renowned Monica Backström for the Kosta Boda glassworks in Sweden. Backström, a pivotal figure who worked with Kosta Boda for over 40 years starting in the 1960s, is famous for her organic, earthy designs. This piece features a distinctive mottled pattern where rich amber tones swirl into a creamy white body, finished with a soft, frosted base. The satin texture and "pulled" glass technique give it a natural, stone-like appearance that captures the essence of Nordic design.
