Vintage Strömbergshyttan sommerso crystal glass vase with original label, likely designed by Asta Strömberg in Sweden in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
Lovely collector's item! Beautiful torpedo shaped sommerso style vase with tear drop air bulb. The coloured underlay is a brown-toned nuance encased in clear crystal. The colour is darker in one spot/streak from production (see photos - right side) - only visible from certain angles, doesn't detract from appearance. Signed 'Stromberg B894' on base. Original silver Strömbergshyttan label. It is a lovely form with a narrow opening.
Condition:
In very good vintage condition. Some light surface scratches consistent with age but no significant chips, cracks or other damage.
Measurements:
14.5cm tall x 8.5cm wide x 5.5cm deep = approx 5.75" x 3.25" x 2"
Elliptical opening with 2.5cm width and 1.5cm depth.
