Vase, Rhythm
This is a vase. It was manufactured by Orrefors Glasshouse. It is dated 1929. Its medium is glass.
Swedish decorative glass, especially that of Orrefors, was promoted through both museum and commercial exhibitions in the 1920s, including the 1926 selections from the 1925 Paris Exposition.
