The first large art glass vase bottles are rare and in very good condition, with almost no signs of aging and use. They were designed by Bertel Vallien for Kosta Boda in the 1960s. The inflated and blown form with a crushed glass vase is not signed, but a similar vase can be found in the photo: Gunnar Lindqvist, Vallien p. 40 Bertil Vallien is one of the few innovators of glass art in the world today.
