It's monumental - but only 15.5 cm high. Klaus Breit made it in 1970, it exists in different sizes and colors. It makes me think of pedestrian areas in German cities at the end of the sixties, but it's tempered by a wonderful (and rare) aquamarin blue which was only produced for some years. It's difficult to render the color in a picture.

very beautiful artglass , love it :)
I love it. It reminds me so much of Tama Aladin's TUULIKKI vases, only simpler! http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/39798-tuulikki-tamara-aladin-riihimki-lasi?in=user
I love the blue colour too, Isn't it just like my Engle's jug?
Lovely colour blue.
Wouldn't it be great to have all 4 sizes + the wider one in different colours..
5 different vases, 5 different colours (granat, polarblau, tundragrün. aquamarin and cardinal)
But pretty rare as they were only in production from '71 till '72 :-(
I don't think that's impossible :) I useed to fantasize about getting all six colours and four shapes for Nanny Still's Timalasi... and I eventually got them!
I am happy to have this one in aquamarine blue. Seems to be a rare color because Klaus Breit found it was too expensive.
HELLO cobaltcobold you have very beautiful glass collection:)
Gorgeous.
