About the Item
A small mid-century Swedish smoked glass bud vase by Strömbergshyttan. Modernist in style, the vase is crafted from thick-walled glass using the sommerso technique, with a layer of rich smoked brown encased in clear crystal.
The form is elegant in its simplicity—an elongated teardrop tapering to a narrow mouth, balanced by a rounded, weighted base. Measuring approximately 12 cm in height and 5.5 cm in diameter, it is well suited as a solifleur vase or as a sculptural accent within a Scandinavian or mid-century modern interior.
The quality is consistent with Strömbergshyttan’s post-war production, known for its refined clarity and glass density. The vase remains in very good vintage condition, with only light signs of age and use.
A restrained and beautifully proportioned example of Swedish modernist glass design.

Smoked Glass Bud Vase by Arthur Percy for Gullaskruf, Sweden, Mid-20th Century
By Arthur Percy, Gullaskruf
Located in Glasgow, GB
A mid-century smoked glass bud vase by Arthur Percy for Gullaskruf Glasbruk, Sweden, circa 1950s–60s. This modernist solifleur vase is crafted in warm brown glass with a soft translucence, featuring a spherical base and elongated tapering neck—an elegant study in proportion and restraint typical of Scandinavian glass design from the period.
Arthur Percy, a pivotal figure in 20th-century Swedish decorative arts, served as artistic director of Gullaskruf from 1952 and brought a refined, architectural sensibility to the glassworks’ production. His solifleur vases, such as this example, were designed not only to function as stem vases but also to sit sculpturally within minimalist interiors—characteristic of the era’s design ethos.
Standing approximately 18 cm tall and 10 cm in diameter, this vintage Swedish vase is a collectible example of mid-century modern glassware. In very good condition with no chips or cracks; minor surface wear to the base consistent with age and gentle use.
A considered addition to any collection of Scandinavian glass or modernist decorative objects.
