About the Item

A 1960s red art glass vase designed by Per-Olof Ström for Alsterfors Glasbruk, Sweden. Executed in the sommerso technique, the bold red glass is submerged within a matrix of clear crystal, lending depth and clarity to the colour and form. Shaped in a signature hooped style, the vase features a cylindrical body with a central disc-shaped band that splays outward toward both the base and lip—a form now closely associated with Ström’s output for the influential Swedish glassmaker. The design is both playful and precise—modernist in intent, with a confident use of saturated red colour. The handblown glass is thick-walled and weighty, with a finely polished rim that attests to its craftsmanship. Measuring 19 cm high and 9 cm in diameter, the scale is compact yet impactful, suited to both shelf display and tabletop use. Condition: Good vintage condition with a tiny fleabite to the outer rim and light surface wear along the curved edges—minor and unobtrusive, in keeping with age and use.

Green Opaline Jadeite Glass Trumpet Vase, Empoli Italy, 1960s
By Empoli, Stelvia
Located in Glasgow, GB
An elegant pale green opaline glass trumpet vase, attributed to Stelvia of Empoli, Italy, likely produced as part of the Opalina Fiorentina range, circa 1960s. This mid-century vase is a fine example of jadeite glass—a softly translucent type of opaline glassware popularised by Stelvia and echoed in the work of Murano glassmakers during the same period. Handblown in mint green opaline glass, the vase features a classical trumpet silhouette: a flared conical body tapering into a rounded base, poised on a slender stem with a gently splayed foot. The opaline surface captures ambient light beautifully, producing a softly luminous, milky glow characteristic of the Stelvia opaline glass from this era. Measuring 18 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter, the vase is in very good vintage condition. A single, pinpoint chip to the outer rim is visible only under close inspection and has been clearly documented in photographs. There are no cracks, repairs, or clouding to note. It works beautifully as a standalone glass accent or grouped with other Italian opaline glass vessels in complementary pastel shades such as lilac, baby blue, or alabaster. A timeless piece for collectors of vintage Italian glassware...
