A captivating vintage hand-blown art glass centerpiece bowl, rendered in a sophisticated smoky gray hue. This substantial, well-weighted piece possesses a beautiful fluid quality typical of Scandinavian glassmaking.
While the bowl is signed on the base, the signature is unfortunately illegible due to significant scratches consistent with age and use (please see photos). Stylistically, the shallow, wide-rimmed form shares strong characteristics with designs produced by the renowned Swedish glassworks Kosta Boda, potentially aligning with work by designers like Göran Wärff or Anna Ehrner (such as the 'Atoll' or 'Skal' series). While the smoky color is sometimes associated with Danish makers like Holmegaard/Per Lütken, the shape strongly suggests a Kosta Boda origin.
