Gunnar Nylund Miniature Crystal Vase
A rare and captivating piece of mid-century glass design, this miniature crystal vase by celebrated designer Gunnar Nylund is a masterwork of form and fluidity. Produced by Strömbergshyttan, its freeform silhouette—often referred to as the “Shark Tooth”—embodies the playful, organic spirit of Scandinavian Modernism. Crafted from mouth-blown and hand-shaped amber and clear crystal in the Sommerso style, the vase glows with inner depth and textural clarity. Its petite size is balanced by a sculptural presence, making it an ideal accent for collectors and connoisseurs of art glass. Both playful and refined, this tiny treasure offers a moment of design history—perfect for tabletop curation or nestled among larger sculptural pieces.
