A stunning small “Tornado” vase by renowned Swedish glass artist Bertil Vallien for Kosta Boda. This compact sculptural form features Vallien’s signature internal thread like inclusions and metallic toned surface, giving it a sense of movement and depth despite its small scale.
The vase is signed and numbered (#48279) on the base, confirming its authenticity. At 9.5 cm high and 9.5 cm wide with a 1.2 cm neck opening, it’s a perfect collector’s piece — small, jewel like, and instantly recognisable as Vallien’s work.
These smaller Tornado forms are highly sought after for their display versatility and strong presence relative to size.
