Orrefors Sweden Intermezzo Blue Goblet

This is a classic piece of Swedish crystal stemware, specifically the Intermezzo Blue wine goblet designed by Erika Lagerbielke for Orrefors. The item is characterized by its high-quality, lead-free crystal construction, featuring a clear hand-blown bowl and a distinctively heavy base. The most significant feature of this design is the suspended drop of cobalt blue glass within the stem, which is a signature element of the Intermezzo collection launched in 1984. The goblet stands approximately 7 to 8 inches tall with a gently flaring rim and a slender stem that transitions into a wide, stable circular foot. Visible on the foot is the original green and white triangular Orrefors Sweden label, indicating authenticity and suggesting the piece has seen minimal use. The glass displays excellent clarity and brilliance, common in Orrefors craftsmanship. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding from hard water deposits. This mid-to-late 20th-century design represents a hallmark of Scandinavian modernism, blending functional minimalism with a playful, artistic focal point.
