1950s Skruf Glasbruk (Sweden) Spun Glass Vase by Bengt Edenfalk (signed)

SOLD

Dating from the 1950s this is a superb early piece of work by Bengt Edenfalk for the Swedish glassworks Skruf, where he worked from 1953 until 1978.  One of these spun series vases was exhibited at the 1959 Modern Glass exhibition at the Corning Museum, New York.  A thick and heavy bottle style vase with a long neck ending in a flattened, flared rim and a spun glass detail around the lower half - all in an unusual shade of olive green glass thickly cased in clear.  This is a very modern and forward thinking design for the 1950s and an impressive piece of retro Scandinavian glass.  Hand signed to the underside with 'Edenfalk Skruf'.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.
