Rare Pair Vicke Lindstrand Orrefors Crystal Decanters - Self-Righting Weighted Base | Vintage MCM Swedish Art Glass (LA 416)

Presenting an extraordinary and rare pair of vintage crystal decanters designed by the legendary Vicke Lindstrand for Orrefors, Sweden. These exceptionally well-made mid-century modern (MCM) pieces showcase Lindstrand's genius and Orrefors' unparalleled craftsmanship.

What sets these decanters apart is their truly amazing weighted base, engineered to self-right, ensuring they always return to an upright position – a testament to innovative design and precision balance. Each decanter stands a stately 12 inches tall with its stopper in place, making them commanding presences on any bar cart, sideboard, or display.

Each decanter is authentically marked on the bottom with "LA 416" and the distinctive cursive "Orrefors" signature, confirming their prestigious origin and authenticity. These iconic pieces were produced during Lindstrand's influential tenure at Orrefors, likely between the 1940s and 1950s.

Both decanters are in excellent vintage condition, showcasing the brilliant clarity of Swedish crystal. One of the original stoppers has a small chip, which is not noticeable when the stopper is inserted into the decanter (please refer to photos for a detailed view). This minor imperfection does not detract from the overall elegance or functionality of this stunning pair.

These decanters are not just functional barware; they are sculptural works of art, embodying the sophistication and innovation of Scandinavian modern design. A must-have for serious collectors of Orrefors, Vicke Lindstrand, or premium mid-century crystal.
