Description:

This sculptural glass vase by Per B. Sundberg for Orrefors exemplifies the bold creativity that defined Swedish studio glass in the late 20th century. The piece features an organic, undulating form with a frosted matte surface that captures and diffuses light, creating a soft, ethereal glow. Its irregular contours evoke natural formations such as ice, stone, or molten glass, blurring the line between functional object and contemporary sculpture.

Sundberg’s experimental approach to material and texture is evident in the vase’s tactile presence and abstract expression. Both refined and daring, it represents a modern reinterpretation of Scandinavian glassmaking tradition, balancing craftsmanship, innovation, and artistic individuality.
