Vase

Add to album

This glass vase was designed by Bjorn Weckstrom in 1978 and made in 1979 by the Nuutajarvi Glassworks in Finland.

The vase is made of semi-opaque white glass splashed grey-brown. The design is called 'Fortuna'.

Since the end of World War II, the national design organisations of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark have collaborated with joint exhibitions and prizes to promote modern functional design. This resulted in a characteristic 'Scandinavian Style' which was a major influence on world taste.
