Background Info and Provenance
A Vicke Lindstrand footed bowl that’s engraved to the base LH 1035. This design was released around 1952. Lindstrand went through a phase where he experimented with lines and cross-hatching and these designs are hugely popular today. What creates a hit is the intermingling of lines from the back and front. Through both sides a more intricate weave is formed similar to a fish-net.
Today Vicke Lindstrand’s work is some of the most highly collectable mid-century glass in the world. His designs may initially seem simple but they make you do a double-take and this is what has made them so popular.
HAND-MADE art that’s European and over 50 years old is virtually never found in Australia. This is the first of these I’ve seen here. It also has the acid etch that reads, “Lindstrand- Kosta”. This denotes that the piece is an earlier release and heightens its investment appeal. The design number is etched to the base in the “chicken-scratch” hand also indicating it was made in the 50’s.
This Kosta piece is one to be passed from one generation to the next. Kosta Boda is probably the most successful glass-works ever and this is one of the earlier pieces released well before Kosta and Boda amalgamated. The design captivates just as much today as it did back then. Instead of adding to global pollution consider buying vintage- there are very few better ways you can invest in your home and our environment.

This is your guarantee that I strive to describe all my items as accurately as I can and 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.
