(This section was written in 2017 when we sold our last Elme Peacock Vase)
A LARGE Yellow & Orange vintage “Peacock” vase created by Elme Glass of Sweden in the 1950’s – 1960’s (designed by Carl-Olov Borgarp). This is the largest size Elme did this design in- I’ve only seen one other in this size in Australia after being in this business 17 years. The “Peacock” is highly collectable as it came in various shapes, sizes and tonal variations. Some have red in them, others are predominantly yellow but they all have the distinctive patterning of Peacock feathers.
Elme is a company steeped in tradition opening in 1917 and closing in 1970. The company is best known for the teardrop vase which became a style icon but it’s the Peacock vase that is most sought after by collectors. Due to the time and expertise needed to make these, less were made. Occasionally they have the Elme label on them- I’ve also seen a few with a “Made in Sweden” label. They’re so distinctive and it’s obvious this piece has been made by hand. If you type, “20th Century Glass, Peacock” into Google you’ll be directed to the 20th Century Glass website in the UK that has a great selection of Peacock vases in their sold inventory.
I love the fiery essence of this piece- it’s so distinctly retro yet timeless at the same time.
This vase that has been made by HAND is about 50 years old and when modern pieces have ended up as landfill this vase will be handed to another generation. There are very few better ways to invest in your home and reduce your carbon footprint.

This vintage piece is in excellent condition for its age with no noticeable flaws to report. It looks great for a 50-year old piece but because of its age you may find signs of use- nothing that’s noticed though. There are NO chips, NO cracks and NO noticeable scratches. The piece is HAND-MADE so there are tell-tale signs of this including a blob of glass that occurred during production. This is part of parcel of owning a hand-made piece- to me it only adds to the appeal of the piece and does not adversely affect its value at all. On display it’s usually not noticed anyway. The piece was expertly made BY HAND and shows signs of this but looks amazing for a HAND-MADE piece. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It has a total height of 28cm and is 15cm at its widest point. THIS LISTING IS FOR THE YELLOW and ORANGE “PEACOCK” VASE SHOWN IN EVERY PHOTO. 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.
