Title: Help ID sommerso vase w/ large bubbles
Post by: snesbit on April 16, 2009, 02:14:27 PM

I came across this vase during a spring break run with my daughter down to Florida last week. 

The thick walled sommerso design has a green interior covered with deep amber and clear exterior.  The vase measures 10 3/4" high, 4 1/2" wide and 3 1/4" deep.  Nicely finished ground / polished flat base. 

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like the Jan Johansson vase for Orrefors ca. 2000. We had a discussion about this style of Ariel only recently

but I don't think we got to the bottom of it....
