About this seller
Product description
Presenting a rare and exquisite piece from the master and doyen of Swedish glass art, Bertil Vallien, this beautiful glass bowl, from his 'IKAROS' series, is a testament to his artistry and innovation. The bowl's elegant design is accentuated by the stunning, sand -blasted pattern of a 'bird' (Ikarus), dots and lines, creating a visual symphony that captures the light beautifully.
Its substantial size and unique design make it a standout piece for any collector or connoisseur of fine glassware.
Designed and crafted between 1963-1969, this bowl is the largest in the series and it is signed with 'Boda åfors V 170 : 180mm B. Vallien' and his very own icon of Ikarus. It is 15cm high, has a diameter of 18cm and it weighs 2.54kg. It is in excellent condition, with little signs of usage: slight scratches on the base of the bowl. In the foot of the bowl is a small production fault (see photo 50), however the bowl has no chips, cracks or abrasions, it is truly beautiful to behold, considering its age.
Please note that due to internet limitations on colour reproduction and your monitor settings, the colours of the product photos may differ from the original. I have taken all due care to reproduce the bowl as live like as possible while highlighting the exquisite details. The photos are an integral part of the description.
