Signed 1970s Ann and Goran Warff vase for Kosta

In the 60s and 70s, Whitefriars in England, Iittala and Humppila in Finland, and others, made moulded vases with a rough textured 'bark' finish.  The talented Warffs made a series of pieces with their version of this type of texture but in bright, bold colour combinations for Kosta, and this is a good example.
