This is a scarce Kosta of Sweden blue striped vase (sometimes called a Zebra vase), model LH1057, designed by Vicke Lindstrand, the design dating from the 1950s. These are more often seen in the red colourway.
The vase is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with some 70 years of use.
The vase was blown in blue glass with external decoration of latticino canes which was then cased in clear glass, and is roughly in the shape of a true baluster with an asymmetric rim. It measures 5.5 cm (2.1 inches) in width at its widest point. It ends in a base which is plain on which are etched the words “Lindstrand Kosta LH 1057”. The vase is 27.3 cm (11 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.
It weighs in at 730 g. (~ 1 lb. 10 oz.).
