Most Wishlisted Bright Orange Cased Glass Vase – Sweden, 1960's Christmas Gift Special [GhbMNoH6]

A beautifully clean-lined glass vase in a punchy, vibrant orange with a white interior layer – a stunning example of Swedish cased glass. The flared neck and softly tapering body echo forms popular across Scandinavian glasshouses in the 1960's, but the colour here steals the show: a rich, near-neon citrus hue that lights up any surface it lands on.

While this rare gem shares similarities with pieces by Holmegaard and Kumela, the vivid, saturated orange points strongly to Bergdalen Glasbruk. The tone is distinctly brighter than the deeper hues used by its Danish and Finnish counterparts, and the clean, cased construction supports the attribution. Pieces in this exact shade are extremely uncommon, making this a standout find for collectors of Nordic art glass.

Sculptural and bright, it works equally well as a bold accent piece or a minimal vase for single stems. A striking touch of 1960's glass design that brings punch to a shelf or table — and a solid catch for serious glass lovers looking for something off the beaten path.
