'Brutalist' Conical glass Bowl Göte Augustsson (Swedish 1917-2004) for Ruda Glasbruk (1970s)

Göte Augustsson for Ruda Glasbruk - Relief-Moulded Conical Vase
Sweden, c.1960s/70s
19 cm diameter × 13 cm high

A sculptural relief-moulded vase designed by Göte Augustsson for Ruda Glasbruk. Made in the same rich forest-green glass as the matching slab vase, this conical form shows Augustsson’s signature approach to texture, an organic, almost ice-etched surface that plays beautifully with light and shadow.

The thick-walled glass gives the piece a satisfying weight and presence, while the open, rounded form makes it suitable as a vase, bowl, or standalone sculptural object. The irregular relief pattern catches the light from every angle, making the colour appear deeper and more layered.

A strong mid-century Scandinavian piece and a lovely example of Augustsson’s work for Ruda Glasbruk.
