Pair of mid-century Vicke Lindstrand Kosta vases

These look like a set, and they are... sort of. The taller vase has the model number LH1011 on the base, making it one of Lindstrand's early designs for Kosta in 1950 after he returned as art director. You can see that it's a much finer pattern of bubbles than the smaller one. It was made only in crystal, in two sizes, this 31cm tall version, and a 36.5cm version. Lindstrand had previously worked for Kosta before moving to Orrefors in 1928. (For other Lindstrand designs on Modernistglass.com, sold and unsold, click here.)

The smaller vase, being neither 31cm nor 36.5cm, is therefore a different design, a variation on first. The five-digit number on the base tells us it was made in the 1970s, after they'd changed their numbering system. Both have the great man's name on the base, but one is far superior.

They were bought as a pair so presumably the previous owner was displaying them together (and you can see from the pictures that they look very stylish together) but since they are not, strictly speaking, a set, we will sell them separately if one of our customers wants that. The tall vase is US$230 and the smaller one is US$95.
