This majestic glass goblet from Kosta Boda is an excellent example of Ulrica Hydman-Vallien's colorful and expressive design language. The bowl features a hand-painted decoration of a distinct light blue bird in profile, beautifully contrasting against the mottled background in yellow and green with a pronounced rim border. The solid, opaque black base gives the piece an elegant weight and grounding. A powerful and iconic art glass object that commands attention and catches the eye.
