This is a crystal bowl or vase designed by Olle Alberius for the renowned Swedish glassworks Orrefors. The piece features the distinctive 'Waves' pattern, model OA 4701-12, which exemplifies the modernist approach to glass design that Alberius championed during his tenure.
Crafted from clear crystal, the bowl showcases a deeply faceted, undulating exterior that catches and refracts light, creating a dynamic visual effect. The thick walls and substantial base provide stability and a sense of weight characteristic of high-quality Scandinavian art glass. The original Orrefors Sweden sticker remains affixed to the exterior, confirming its provenance.
The piece is in excellent condition, retaining its original clarity and structural integrity. The faceted design remains sharp and well-defined, reflecting the careful preservation of this modernist object.
This crystal bowl serves as a striking decorative element in both contemporary and Mid-Century Modern interiors. It functions beautifully as a standalone sculptural object on a console or dining table, or it can be utilized to display floral arrangements or fruit, adding a touch of Scandinavian elegance to the space.
The bowl is 14 cm tall. Diameter at the top is approx. 17 cm.
Excellent vintage condition. No damage. Weight over 2 kg !!!!!!!!!!
