Orrefors Art Glass 'Coronado' Bud Vase

This is a substantial and high-quality clear crystal vase, likely a piece of Scandinavian art glass, bearing strong resemblance to the 'Coronado' or 'Feather' series by Orrefors. The object features a globose or rose bowl silhouette with a flattened base for stability and a slightly recessed polished rim. It is constructed from heavy lead crystal, which provides exceptional clarity and light refraction. The primary decorative element consists of deep, broad wheel-cut grooves that swirl upward around the perimeter. These cuts are finished with a frosted or 'acid-etched' texture, creating a sophisticated contrast against the highly polished clear body of the glass. The fluid, organic lines of the cuts suggest a Mid-Century Modern or late 20th-century aesthetic, likely produced in Sweden between 1970 and 1990. The craftsmanship is evident in the uniform depth of the cuts and the thick walls of the vessel. Condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks along the edges, though fine shelf wear (scratches) on the underside is common for pieces of this age. The heavy weight of the piece serves as a primary indicator of its lead crystal content and overall luxury manufacture. While no signature is immediately visible in the photograph, such pieces are typically etched on the bottom with the maker's name.
