Very heavy signed and labelled 1970s Ann and Goran Warff 'water bottle' lampbase for Kosta
"Cool" in every sense of the word. As you would expect from such talented designers, this witty imitation of a water bottle is not just clever, but also very beautiful. The bubbles in the centre are given extra interest and definition by the hint of gold they put in variations of this bubbled theme (for example, 1960s Set of 3 gold Ann and Goran Warff Kosta paperweights with mass of random bubbles.
The signature "Warff" on the base tells us that it was a joint effort of the husband and wife team, from either the late 60s or the early 70s. For more pieces designed by one or both of this couple, and more information on them, see http://www.modernistglass.com/glasspieces/search/warff/0/0/2/1
