A recent highlight in a Criterion sale was this Orrefors 'Ariel' clear glass vase. This exquisite vase, possibly designed by the renowned Swedish artist Edvin Öhrström, is a beautiful example of mid-20th century Scandinavian glass artistry.
The vase’s iconic design, characterised by bubbles arranged within squares in a signature grid formation, combined with the clarity of the glass, creates a captivating visual effect that is both modern and timeless. The piece stands 16cm tall with a diameter of 10cm.
Signed at the base with "Orrefors, Sweden, Ariel, No. 395," this vase is part of the Ariel series, known for its innovative use of air bubbles trapped within the glass. The craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this piece reflect the high standards for which Orrefors is renowned.
We are proud to have offered such a distinguished item in our auction, continuing our tradition of presenting exceptional pieces to our clients. This vase not only exemplifies the elegance of Scandinavian design but also serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Orrefors' artistic legacy.
