Rare Soccer Players Vase by Lindstrand for Kosta Boda

About the Item

Designed by Vicke Lindstrand, legendary for his engraved glass designs at Orrefors in the 1930s and Uppsala-Ekeby in the 1940s, this very fine and rare design showing two soccer players was executed by Kosta Boda later in his career. Each player is brilliantly stylized, and when the player on the back side of the vase is seen through the image of the other player on the front, the result is a dizzying, Cubistic image that shows Lindstrand's mastery of the medium.
