Labelled Coquille Flygsfors 1950s butterfly vase
Here's another of Paul Kedelv's bold, distinctive Flygsfors designs, well-photographed by Pernilla. The mix of sommerso (the double-pronged pink base always reminds me of the roots of a tooth suspended in crystal) and colour layered over white glass is hard to capture.
Kedelv continued in a similar theme for his next employers, Reijmyre, see for example:

Usually they have a two-digit date after the word, "Flygsfors" on the base but we can't read it on this one. It will have been made in the mid to late 1950s.
For other Keldelv designs, mostly sold I'm afraid, see:
