Vintage Orrefors Jan Johansson Crystal Bowl/Vase, Signed, #4208-121 (1970s)

Crafted with precision and care in Sweden, this vintage Orrefors crystal bowl/vase designed by Jan Johansson is a testament to the artisanal skill of the 1970s. Signed with the designer's initial (which is the custom), it stands as a unique piece of decor, blending functionality with the elegance synonymous with Johansson's work. Measuring 2.9 inches in height and 4.7 inches in width, with walls the width of .25 inch, it weighs in at a substantial 2 pounds, .4 ounce, indicative of its quality and heft. This bowl/vase, bearing the model number 4208-121, is a handmade gem that adds a touch of vintage sophistication to any collection or interior. Its roots in the past make it not only a beautiful piece to admire but also a slice of history to cherish.

I list this as bowl and vase because it could be used in either manner, although I believe it was originally a bow for displaying items. It has an 8-petal flower shape, similar to his Fleur series. Johannson began designing at Orrefors in 1969 and the numbering system would indicate this piece was made in the 1970s.

The bowl/vase is in excellent used condition. There are no chips or cracks. There are a few light scratches on the base where it has sat on a hard surface. Please see the pictures for a complete sense of description. Thank you!
