A superb example of Finnish glass design by Gunnel Nyman. Executed by the skilled artisans at the historic Nuutajärvi Notsjö glass factory (Finland’s oldest), this tall, clear crystal vase is a testament to the elegant simplicity of Scandinavian Modernism.
The piece utilizes the demanding controlled bubble technique to create a dense, precisely regimented pattern of air inclusions, a signature feature developed by Nyman during her influential career. The clarity and weight of the glass underscore its exceptional quality.
Provenance & Markings:
The vase bears the desirable etched signature: "G. Nyman Nuutajarvi Notsjo 53," indicating its creation date just after Nyman's passing, likely produced based on her final designs. Her work is a cornerstone of global Art Glass collections.
