Kaj Franck 'Harso' Vase
An early, museum quality example of a 'Harso' vase designed by Kaj Franck, Finland, 1953.
The shape of the vase is free-blown whilst the decorative pattern within has been achieved using the ariel technique.
Essentially, a wave pattern has been acid etched around the glass at the core of the piece. Overlaying the translucent off-white core is clear glass which has trapped air bubbles in the recesses of the etching beneath.
Nuutajärvi Glassworks produced this design, with the Model Number KF108, for 6 years, from 1953 to 58.
