Quick Details:
• Handcrafted lead crystal vase, ≈4⅛″ tall
• Wide, flat rim (≈⅞″ thick) with modern, minimalist silhouette
• Top opening ≈3⅝″, base ≈2⅛″
• Etched “orrefors” signature on base
• Original foil label still partially intact (a collector bonus)
• Light surface wear on rim + minor base scratches from normal use
• No chips, cracks, or clouding
• Estimated 1960s–1980s
Description:
This little Orrefors vase is basically a crystal paperweight that decided to become functional. It’s short, solid, and wonderfully intentional — a perfect example of Scandinavian modernist design doing the absolute most with clean lines and thick glass.
The wide, flat rim gives it a sculptural feel, like it could live just as comfortably in a gallery nook as on your windowsill. The crystal clarity is exactly what you expect from Orrefors, and that original foil label (even partial!) is like a tiny badge saying, “Yes, I’m legit.”
It’s one of those pieces that doesn’t need bells or whistles — light hits it, and suddenly you understand why Swedish crystal has a fan club. Drop in a single bloom, a tight cluster of stems, or leave it empty to let its shape speak for itself.
Simple, sturdy, modern, and just plain satisfying to hold.
