Orrefors (Sweden) vase, "Nude with Snow Flakes". 1945, signed by the artist Lindstrand on bottom. 7 1/4 tall. Excellent crystal glass clarity. Note that because of the difficulty of photographing clear glass the background material is seen through the glass and various distorting light reflections are here and there. These are not to be mistaken for flaws or cracks. The condition of the piece is excellent.
Orrefors (Sweden) lead crystal vase. "Romeo and Juliet". pre-1950. 8 inches tall. Beautiful crystal clear clarity. One side shows Romeo on steps, the other side shows Juliet on the balcony. Fine condition. Note that dark paper was put inside of vase to enhance the photographing of the details. Also note that there are light reflections here and there in the pictures and that they are not flaws or cracks. Signed on bottom.
