I found this stunning blue glass vase in a second hand store here in Sweden. It is 8 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide at each of the 3 sides. It's rather heavy. (approximately 500 grams) It's triangular shaped. I searched Google extensively but couldn't find anything like it. Does anyone here have any clues as to what this may be regarding origin, etc?
Thanks!
I took one more pic and added it.
I agree this is stunning.
From the pictures it looks moulded but to really help ID it wouled you be able to post a base photo?
Thanks for your comment racer4four. I took a couple pictures of the bottom but don't see how to add them here.
I did add them now....sorry about the quality. My smartphone camera doesn't take good closeups.
Yeah sorry, that hasn't really helped.
For now it's unsolved - just enjoy it. I think it is really great!
I know racer4four....but thanks!! And thank you nutsabotas6--I'll keep trying. Am searching Google images with all kinds of keywords!
Oooh...a name! Thanks AGalWithGlass! Now I will search and see if I can find out.
I've done more research online and found the answer. For anyone interested, the vase seems to be from Åseda glasbruk - a Swedish glassmaker that stopped production in the 70s. Possibly designed by a Mr. Bo Borgström. Here is a link: http://www.50-talskeramik.se/search/label/-%20Bo%20Borgstr%C3%B6m You have to scroll down to find the 3 vases like this (different colors). Going to mark this mystery "Solved" now. Thanks for the input...I love this community!
Thanks AGalWithGlass !! It was fun and the lead you gave me somehow led me to that link but I don't remember exactly how. lol. I think I've seen every blue triangular vase ever made searching through so many pages in Google images. :)
