Lot #112: Orrefors Vase Designed by Vicke Lindstrand

Orrefors Vase Designed by Vicke Lindstrand • Victor "Vicke" Emanuel Lindstrand (1904-1983). He was recruited to Orrefors in 1928. • (1950-1973) Lindstrand made a return to glass when he took over as the creative director of Kosta Glasbruk, long before it merged into Kosta Boda. • The undulating thickness and wavy structure of the vase is a signature, deliberate design feature created by Vicke Lindstrand during his tenure at Orrefors in the 1930's. • This vase has no signatures or numbers on the base, three reasons why: 1) That a paper label was used, and is no longer there. 2) That the vase itself was produced by Orrefors in the 1930's, but engraved by Kosta Glasbruk when they took over the factory in the 1950's. 3) The base at some point had a nick or chip, and the base was re-polished, removing the original marks. • This aerodynamic look is a hallmark of the Art Deco and early mid-century modernist movements of the 1930's. • In excellent condition no cracks or breaks, or chips, but has minor scratching.
