The Bertil Vallien Chicko Vase is a striking example of contemporary Swedish art glass from the Kosta Boda Artist Collection. Designed in 1996, the "Chicko" series is celebrated for its organic forms and revolutionary tactile surfaces. This specific model, 4960, features a vibrant yellow body accented with bold orange glass fragments, creating a sense of depth and warmth.
 
This hand-blown Bertil Vallien Chicko Vase is finished with a signature rough, "sand-cast" texture that provides a beautiful matte contrast to the smooth, slightly uneven rim. Standing at 21.5 cm (8.5"), it is a substantial and highly collectible piece from one of Sweden's most iconic glass masters.
