Up for sale is a beautiful, authentic piece of mid-century modern Scandinavian art glass: an 8-inch Hadeland Glassverk "Furu" (Pine) Handkerchief Vase, designed by the renowned artist Severin Brørby in the 1970s.
This stunning piece features a heavily textured exterior mimicking organic pine bark, contrasted by a smooth, fluid, hand-folded "handkerchief" or "slung" rim.
Crafted from high-quality Norwegian lead crystal, it catches the light beautifully and makes a magnificent standalone sculptural piece or floral vase.
Dimensions & Specifications:
- Height/Width: Approximately 8 inches (20 cm) / 7 to 8 inches wide
- Weight: An exceptionally heavy, solid 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) before packaging—a clear indicator of high-quality vintage crystal.
- Markings: Unmarked. As is standard for the Furu line, these pieces were originally distributed with paper or foil factory labels rather than an acid-etched signature.
Condition Report:
- Excellent Vintage Condition: No chips, cracks, flea bites, or bruising.
- Clarity: The crystal remains bright, clear, and vibrant with no cloudy water staining or "glass sickness."
Shipping & Handling:
Due to the 3.3 lb weight and fragile nature of vintage crystal, this item will be double-wrapped in heavy-duty bubble wrap and securely boxed to ensure a completely safe transit.
