Semi-Nude Dancer Vase - by Edvin Ohrstrom for Orrefors. C. 1944. Sweden. Signed Orrefors 2928 on bottom. 8 inches tall, 3.5 inches in diameter at its widest. The opening is 6 inches by 5 inches at top. The mark is partially obscured by the scratches on the bottom of the vase. These are the only scratches. The vase is, otherwise, in excellent condition. The vase has been identified in the Orrefors Production Catalogue for 1944. The date is significant since it is during the second world war when production declined or ceased. Ohrstrom was an important artist who worked for Orrefors from 1936 to 1958, during which time he introduced the Ariel technique and designed several well-known iconic pieces. The etched dancer on the vase is nude from the waist up and she wears a gauzy, transparent skirt that emphasizes her movement. She appears to be suspended in air, floating forever on the surface of the glass. In excellent condition.
