Kosta Boda Caramba Vase for Black and White

The Caramba vase, a classic creation, has been a beloved staple for many years. Ulrica Hydman-Vallien, a renowned Swedish artist, has recently enriched this cherished product with a modern twist, introducing vibrant colors such as lime, orange, and blue. These new hues add a fresh dimension that perfectly complements contemporary homes.

The vase's gentle, soft shape creates an exciting contrast to the dramatically painted design, resulting in a truly unique piece of art. Crafted by master glassblowers in Sweden's Kosta Boda glassworks, each Caramba vase is a one-of-a-kind, translucent masterpiece. The hand-painted design features captivating scenes, including two profiles, a snake in an Adam and Eve motif, and a primitive fish-like creature with a flower and another snake.

Measuring 13-1/2 inches in height, the Caramba vase commands attention, making a bold statement even without the presence of flowers. It can be displayed in a lighted niche or on a table, allowing its beauty to be admired from all sides. The vase is available in four modern colors: lime, orange, blue, and a striking black-and-white option, each with the artist's signature.

Ulrica Hydman-Vallien, born in 1939, has been a long-time collaborator with Kosta Boda, contributing to the company's success in the 1980s and 1990s. Her distinctive style, featuring female faces, tulips, and snakes, has become iconic and can be found on various products, including Ericsson mobile phones and British Airways aircraft.

Kosta Boda, one of the leading glasshouses in the world, has a rich history dating back to 1742 when it was founded by two former generals in the army of Karl XII. Over the years, the company has embraced the collaboration between designers and skilled craftspeople, resulting in a diverse range of utility and art glass.

The Caramba vase, a true work of art, is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and creative vision of Kosta Boda. Each piece is a unique treasure, signed by the artist and carefully handwashed to preserve its luster and beauty. The Caramba collection, including the vase and a matching shallow dish, offer a special gift for any occasion, sure to delight the recipient and become a cherished addition to any home.
