    The large vase is from what I believe was called the "Mechanical" series, designed by Per Olaf Strom, late 1960s.

    He designed many pieces for Alsterfors but I think the most familiar are his cased coloured and white vases, often in very geometrical shapes.
    This vase has a very masculine feel to it with it's heavily moulded ribs that vary around the vase.

    Difficult to see but is signed "P.Strom 69".

    Height 20cm (8in)

    The smaller vase is a design by Christer Sjogren for Lindshammar Sweden, 1970s. Apparently these come in a variety of colours but clear is the most common.

    Height 16cm 6in)

      I certainly like nearly all things "mechanical" -- that large vase qualifies even without any moving parts! Its ribs are indeed shapely, looks like it has "abs" too on that one side?!! ;-) ;-) :-) :-) :-)
