DescriptionDescription: This vase has had decoration glass added which has run like melted wax down the sides. Bengt Orup began his career as a painter working in the purely geometrical and abstract idiom known as concrete art. In 1952 he became artistic director at Johansfors glassworks, and in his first year there designed Strikt, a glass with vertical stripes in bright colours that went into serial production.
