Kosta Vase Signed V. Lindstrand | Scandinavian Art Glass700 of 711 |  |  |

This is a vase made in Scandinavian. It is signed Kosta then V. (VICKE) Lindstrand. Lindstand was one of great designers for a number of Scandinavian glass companies during his life time. This vase has a number of geese engraved on the glass. One thing I am not sure of is why Lindstrand would design such simple, and low cost items. He is known for his classic, expensive pieces in today's market.

Many thanks!
