Vase/Bowl is a good question because online I have seen this shape listed as both.
Etched on bottom Kosta Boda then the next following line I can't make out followed by B. Vallien followed by 59609
Smoothed irregular rim.
Outside feels to be sandcasted not smooth has a textured surface.
Another Salvation Army find yesterday. When I spotted it my eyes only seen the "Blue" and had to have....no complaints that it is Kosta Boda all the better.
I will have to search some catalogs to get more detailed info on this piece.
GREAT FIND AND GREAT BOWLED!!
Thank you Sean
I told my sister Brenda that "Sean would love this piece"....she said "who is this Sean" I just laughed and said one of my CW friends/collector that has an amazing collection of glass. Told her I learn a lot from my CW friends and then blamed all of you on here for my glass hoarding... lol.
Bowl!! just had my first cup of coffee!!
Sean thanks for verifying it's a bowl. Looks like a bowl to me and not a vase.
Wow! Great day at the Salvo yesterday!
I've seen these with the irregular rims referred to as 'Chiko' vases and bowls but I don't know much more than that.

I noticed the ref to "chiko" also researching online.
It was a good day at the Salvo....doesn't happen often there. Like the GW better ;)
Wow Melanie, you found this in the Salvation Army? You are one lucky girl! I love the color, the rregular rim and, having owned several of this style pieces, the texture... congrats! A lot of these pieces are inscribed "artist coll" (artist collection), so I believe that's what the illegible portion reads.
