Description
Towering Swedish Modern Floor Vase
This magnificent Arthur Percy floor vase stands 40″ tall.
It is authentic mid-century Swedish art glass designed by famed glass artist Arthur Percy in 1952 and made by many Scandinavian glass houses since. Tremendous thin-blown glass bottle vase. Bottom-wear is caused by years of surface contact and is not damage. A ring of bottom-wear helps verify age. There are 2 light ‘bump’ scratches on the exterior bulbous side. It is amazing that it survived 60 years.
Percy’s design was offered by a few major Scandinavian glass houses. Originally designed for Gullaskruf, and produced by Aseda, Lindshammar, Elme and more. According to Scandinavian Glass Fire and Sea by Leslie Pina and Lorenzo Vigier, this form was selected for the Corning Glass Museum Special Exhibition of 1959. Magnificent.
Although it is not heavy for it’s size, weighs only 3½ lbs, it has a solid ring of bottom-wear.[color-box]More About Scandinavian Glass[/color-box]
