Beautiful Vicke Lindstrand clear blown glass vase with purple strands rising up from the base. 1021 with Lindstrand Kosta mark as well. Approximately 14.5″ tall and 5.5″ wide at widest point. There are some scratches, some roughness/nicks to one small section of underside of base, and one tiny nick to side of vase. Rim of vase has no chips. The largest scratch appears as almost a rub mark on one side and is located 6.5″ from base in the shape of an upside down “U. The tiny nick is 4.5″ from top on another side and is about 1/8″. There is a light scratch to the right of that runs vertically. All that being said, vase still displays well, this is wear that is mostly seen upon close examination.
