A graal vase, Orrefors 1937, no. 67.
"Thick-walled". Decor of aquatic plants in blue against an apricot-coloured background with air bubbles, frosted surface, signed Orrefors 1937 Graal No 67 Edward Hald. Height 16.2 cm.
Very small tension crack within the glass, approx. 5 mm.
Sold at auction in Gothenburg in the 1980s, thereafter acquired for the Andres Laszlo Jr. Collection.
This early thick-walled graal has an exceptionally unique colouration, and the air bubbles make it even more unusual as a graal. A few of the early pieces from the first years were dipped in acid baths and, like this one, acquired a frosted surface.
