VAT included. Sold under the margin scheme for second-hand goods — no VAT is shown separately.
A majestic hand-blown bottle or vase from Bertil Vallien's appreciated Antikva series for Boda Artist Collection. The hexagonal shape offers a fascinating contrast between the moss-green, crackled surface texture on the lower part and the slender, ocean-blue neck with white swirling threads. A powerful and characteristic piece that catches the eye and serves as a strong interior design detail, whether standing alone or in a group. Bertil designed this vase in 1977. Signed on the bottom: Boda Artist Coll B Valien 47865.
