Background Info / Provenance
(Written in 2020)
A RED vintage art vase designed by Bo Borgstrom, produced BY HAND by Aseda of Sweden. This is my favourite design from the Aseda line. It’s bold, simple, captivating and a substantial piece so can become a vocal point of a glass collection (every though it is so simple). These pieces in BOLD colours are rare (light blue and amber are quite common (red ones are hard to get). These came in TWO sizes that I’m aware of. This is the LARGER size standing at an impressive 26cm in height.
The thing I love most about these is that they’re HAND-CRAFTED and very nicely done. I love the intensity of colour at the base of this one- a hallmark of quality HAND-BLOWN art glass. Machine-made pieces rarely (if ever) have this.
This piece was made in the early 1970’s and competed with the inventories of Holmegaard and the other Scandinavian makers such as Riihimaki and Alsterfors. These designers were the first artists to produce simple but interesting shapes in glass. They’re an artistic feat considering they’re each made by hand- the expertise of the artists is quite awe-inspiring.
I’ve never seen another one like this in Australia in the 20 years I’ve been in this business (ie. red AND in the larger size). They have solid values worldwide but in Australia they’re at least 50 times rarer than in Europe. (They were never retailed back in the 1960’s when they were produced.) There are very few better ways (if any) to invest in your home and reduce your carbon footprint. Good HAND-CRAFTED art glass can and does retain its value over time and in fact vintage pieces by iconic glass-makers such as Aseda increases in value as you get to enjoy it in your home. It’s a win for you AND our environment!

It has a couple of minor signs of use but nothing worth noting. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The piece has a height of 26cm with a diameter of 9cm at the widest point. Read my 1200+ ebay feedback comments (ALL for vintage furniture/decorative arts SALES- more than 100 are from repeat customers). This is your guarantee that I strive to describe all my items as accurately as I can and I will not stock items unless they are in excellent condition.
PICK-UP . . . from 30 or 40 minutes North of BRISBANE city is accepted but postage is preferred as my home is hard to find. Because of this I will nominate a friend or family member for you to collect the item from if you need collection. Pick-up in person must be worked out prior to purchase- thank you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE is offered internationally. All our Decorative Arts pieces are delivered through AUSTRALIA POST. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE ESTIMATES. . . . ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To BRISBANE- most of our pieces cost $15 - $18 to send. . . To SYDNEY or MELBOURNE- Small Vase- around $20 - $23, Medium Vase- around $20 - $25, Large Vase- around $24 - $30. Let us know if you need an EXACT COST for postage prior to purchase. The above postage estimates include $2.95 for a signature on delivery. . . INSURANCE against being lost or broken in transit up to the value of $200 is included in the estimates above. If your vase is cheaper or more expensive than $200 this will effect your postage fee slightly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A BOXING FEE of $3.00 is included in the fee above to cover the cost of searching for and storing used packing materials. With the millions of cardboard boxes that end up as landfill every year we don’t believe in supporting the manufacture of boxes for post. Instead of buying new boxes and packing materials and passing this cost onto our customers we spend considerable time sourcing used boxes and then fashioning boxes to fit each item. We do the same for bubble-wrap and foam pieces. This requires a large investment of time, energy, ingenuity, organization and storage space- it is much easier and cheaper to buy new packing materials but I can’t justify taking the easy way out when so much packing material ends up polluting our earth. Our $3.00 charge does little to pay for the time (and storage) needed do this and to pack your item (there is also the time needed to get your package to the post office). This is something we’re happy to do for our customers and the environment. We appreciate your support in this area.
