Signed 1960s Berndt vase for Flygsfors

This witty vase from Wiktor Berndt made us smile. It's a squared, stylised figure. Certain clues lead us to believe it's a female figure.

Berndt came to Flygsfors in 1955. He was chief designer, taking over from Paul Kedelv, from 1956 to 1974. This is from about 1960. Pina and Vigier show the same piece in grey glass in their book, Scandinavian Glass 1930-2000, Smoke & Ice, and value it at US$350-$400, so ours, which we picked up cheaply, is a real bargain.
