Signed Erika Höglund Maleras 4812 Liquid Vase Sweden Labeled & Mint Condition

  

The Piece: This is a spectacular example of contemporary Swedish crystal, hand-cast at the historic Målerås Glassworks in the heart of Sweden's "Kingdom of Crystal" (Glasriket). Designed by the visionary artist Erika Höglund, this "Liquid" (Fluido) series vase (Model 4812) is a masterclass in organic, sculptural glass. The vase features a dramatic "spiked" silhouette that mimics flowing, turbulent water. It is crafted from heavy full-lead crystal with a stunning vertical split-color aesthetic: a deep Cobalt Blue merging into a vibrant Citrus Yellow/Green.

This discontinued model is a significant "statement" piece, far rarer than the smaller figurines usually found from this maker. Provenance & Authenticity: The base is hand-engraved. It also retains its original metallic Mats Jonasson Målerås factory label on the front, a vital feature for serious collectors that confirms its "cabinet-kept" history. I have carefully inspected all sharp "spiked" protrusions; there are no chips, flea bites, or blunting to the edges.

The crystal is exceptionally clear with no clouding. The base shows minor, authentic "shelf wear" scratches, consistent with a genuine 20-year-old art piece. Origin: Made in Målerås, Sweden Artist: Erika Höglund Series: Liquid / Fluido (Discontinued).
