Paul Kedel for Flygsfors Big Coquille Bowl in Orange, White and Clear Glass

About the Item

Vintage 1950s Swedish vase, designed by Paul Kedelv for Flygsfors as part of the "Coquille" collection. It is big and has an attractive, elongated shape, highlighted by the vibrant tones of colour - orange and white stripes on the bottom half and a clear crystal edge. It is very well preserved, with minor signs of age (little scratches mainly), and is otherwise in perfect conditions. The flat base is even and the piece is perfectly balanced and stable. Flygsfors was a lesser known Swedish glassmaker originally born as industrial producer of window glass, and later turned to Art Glass under the creative direction of designer Paul Kedev. His pieces, rather scarce on the market, are becoming increasingly sought after. The Flygsfors brand ceased activities in 1979, five years after being acquired by another Swedish maker, Orrefors.

Vintage Fluid and Massive Murano Sculpture in "Sommerso" Clear and Green Glass
Located in Milano, IT
Very big and heavy Murano vase in "Sommerso" glass. The peculiar technique, translating to "submerged", consists in joining two layers of different colours glass, so that one looks to be absorbed by the other. In this case, the two colours are green for the core and clear/crystal for the outer layer. The piece is fluid, and is an abstract sculpture in its own right beside being an actual vase. It is preserved in very good original conditions, with minor scratches/hairlines and the expectable patina of a four decades old object...
