Kosta Boda / Orrefors Art Glass Votive/Candle Holder by Kjell Engman

This is a heavy, hand-blown clear lead crystal art glass object, appearing to be a votive or taper candle holder featuring a distinctive tripod-leg design. The piece is characterized by thick, sculptural glass walls and three solid protruding legs that extend from a rounded central bowl or base. The glass is clear with high brilliance, indicative of quality Swedish lead crystal. A notable feature is the gold-colored etched or painted signature visible in the center of the base, which appears to read 'Kjell Engman' or a similar artist designation associated with Kosta Boda. The craftsmanship shows seamless integration of the legs to the main body, typical of high-end Scandanavian glasswork from the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The condition appears well-preserved with no visible chips or deep scratches in the provided angle, though minor shelf wear on the contact points of the feet is expected. There is a small yellow adhesive label remnants on one of the legs, which is a common cleaning issue and does not represent permanent damage. The organic, almost zoomorphic shape is a hallmark of Engman's whimsical design style. The clarity of the glass suggests a high lead content, providing significant weight and light refraction.
