A spectacular piece of Mid-Century Pop Art design: a striking Orange/Red and White Sommerso Art Glass Vase created by Per-Olof Ström for Alsterfors Glasbruk, Sweden, during the 1970s.
This vase features the highly desirable Sommerso (Italian for "submerged") technique, where a vibrant layer of red glass is encased, or cased, within a layer of clear or white glass, giving the piece incredible depth and a bold, graphic look. The strong red color and smooth, cylindrical form embody the exciting, playful aesthetics of the Pop Art and Retro periods.
 
An excellent addition for collectors of Scandinavian Art Glass or anyone looking for a statement piece of 1970s Swedish Modern design.
