This is a scarce, tall Strombergshyttan sommerso glass vase in amethyst designed by Asta Stromberg and/or Gunnar Nylund in the late 1950s.
The vase is in excellent condition. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with use. The base carries a very neat polished out pontil mark.

The vase is 27 cm (10.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, other significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is a slight indentation to the edge of the base which dates from manufacture. The vase is unsigned.
It weighs in at 1.84 kg. (~ 4 lb. 1 oz.).
