A bold, avant-garde statement piece, this large hand-blown yellow glass vase features a series of surrealist stippled faces and abstract motifs that wrap around its generous, bulbous form. The vibrant citron-yellow glass is finished with a striking cherry-red "cased" rim, creating a high-contrast palette that demands attention. The fluid, expressive brushwork and whimsical "Somebody" style figures are highly reminiscent of the Swedish school of glass design. The base features a distinctive hand-etched artist signature (appearing to read "H. Lofta"). This is a heavy, gallery-grade piece that offers the bold character of Kosta Boda with the unique provenance of a specific studio artist. A perfect "power piece" for a postmodern interior or a collection of unconventional Scandinavian art.
