This antique Swedish glass fish carafe, known as the 'Brännvinsfisk', is a design by Hugo Gehlin for Gullaskruf from 1953. The object combines a playful, organic design with the refined craftsmanship of Scandinavian glasswork, making it a striking collector's item.
The carafe is crafted from deep blue glass and features a silver stopper with a cork, marked with silver hallmarks. The sculptural form of the fish, with its detailed fins and curved tail, showcases the manufacturer's masterful glassblowing technique. The silver stopper adds a luxurious contrast to the dark glass.
The object is in good condition, befitting its age, and retains its original character and functionality. The combination of materials and the historical context makes this an authentic piece of design history.
This carafe looks stunning in a display cabinet or on a sideboard in a classic or eclectic interior. It is a refined decorative object that can serve as both a functional item and a work of art.
