Kosta ‘Pippi’ Decanter Designed by Vicke Lindstrand Sweden, 1950-1960
Clear glass decanter of cylindrical form with thickened base enclosing a controlled air bubble, fitted with a spherical stopper. The base etched ‘KOSTA’. The pronounced internal bubble and architectural proportions are characteristic of Lindstrand’s post-war studio designs for Kosta.
Height: 32 cm.
Condition
Good condition. Light surface wear consistent with gentle use. No chips or cracks observed.
Notes
The Pippi series was designed by Vicke Lindstrand for Kosta during the 1950s and represents an important example of Swedish modernist glass. The deliberate use of trapped air bubbles reflects Lindstrand’s experimental approach to form and structure and illustrates the shift toward sculptural minimalism in Scandinavian glass during the post-war period.
Comparable examples are held in Scandinavian museum collections and appear in international design auctions.
