Set of three Lindstrand blue sommerso vases - 18cm-26cm

This design was the first Lindstrand vase that my wife, Viv, insisted we keep for our own collection, rather than selling on the internet. We still have our own set but it doesn't include the rare 26cm (10.5 inch) vase which we are including in this listing. The subtlety of the ice-blue sommerso layer around the royal blue layer is what makes the design special.

The pictures speak for themselves, I think; the vases are simple and beautiful. These vases are over 50 years old. They look as though they could have been designed this year, but these are the genuine originals of this type of glass, so they will keep appreciating, unlike modern variations. People will still love them in 100 years.

While we think these should remain as a set, which is by far the best way for them to be displayed, we will consider selling them individually after our regular customers have had a chance to buy the set.  Sets like this allow collectors to use some creativity in how they are displayed (see our photos for some examples).

The video shows the largest of the three.
