I was browsing at a Toronto-area outdoor antique market this past weekend and acquired what I'm pretty sure is a Bo Borgstrom design for Aseda ... the vase on the right in this picture. No sticker, but it certainly looks 'right' to me ... nice age wear on the polished base, and good weight to it. Pretty much identical in size to my other blue one.
My question is about the colour ... that eye-catching bright cobalt blue. I've seen these in navy blue, red, green, amber/yellow and purple, but never a cobalt blue one. Is this a rare colour? It certainly is here in Toronto, at any rate! I know Aseda made other designs in cobalt blue, but I've never seen one of these in this colour before.
I'd be interested to learn what the experts here have to think about this one. Even though it has a couple of small pinhead-size chips on one of the knobs, I thought it was worth bringing home!
Cheers,
Rob
