About the Item

A beautifully balanced Scandinavian Modern glass ensemble designed by Bengt Orup for Johansfors Glasbruk, Sweden, circa 1957. This rare “Tona” series set includes one tall vase together with two organically shaped bowls in graduated sizes, all executed in crystal-clear art glass with a refined smoked teal-to-clear ombré fade and deeply saturated dark rims. The pieces embody Orup’s celebrated mid-century aesthetic — elegant proportions, fluid silhouettes, and exceptional control of color and light. The subtle tonal transition from deep emerald-teal to crystal clear creates an atmospheric transparency that changes beautifully depending on lighting and angle. The tall vase provides a sculptural vertical presence while the two bowls offer soft rounded forms with thick polished bases that catch and refract light dramatically. Displayed together, the set forms a harmonious composition equally suited for sophisticated interiors, collectors of Scandinavian art glass, or refined decorative styling. 2x pieces retains its original Johansfors foil label, with engraved signature to the underside. An increasingly difficult-to-find complete grouping from one of Sweden’s most important postwar glass designers.
