Molten glass is pressed into a spiked metal mould to indent a precise grid of tiny air pockets, then immediately sealed with an outer layer of clear glass before the bubbles can escape. The result, when done well, looks like champagne frozen mid-pour: a perfectly uniform constellation of tiny spheres suspended in the glass, catching and refracting light from every angle. On this vase, the bullicante is executed in the Rosaline pink base — a warm salmon-coral that shifts toward blush in soft light and deepens to coral under direct sun — and the effect is extraordinary. This is not a decorative trick. It is a demonstration of mastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is a solifleur — a single-stem vase, designed for one perfect flower rather than a bouquet. The clear glass trumpet body flares gently at the rim and narrows to a seamless join with the pink base, where the glass has been hand-manipulated into a lobed, clover-shaped padded foot. This is the detail that elevates this piece above the standard ball-bottom bubble vases of the era: the scalloped nodes require the hot glass to be painstakingly pinched and shaped by hand in the final moments before annealing, and no two lobed feet are identical. Attributed to Scandinavian studio glass production — most likely Åseda Glasbruk in Sweden or Riihimäki \/ Riihimäen Lasi in Finland — and exported to the Australian market through the 1960s and 1970s. A considered addition to a Scandinavian glass collection, a mid-century shelf, or a windowsill where the light can do its work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle \/ Attribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scandinavian Art Glass, attributed to Åseda Glasbruk (Sweden) or Riihimäki \/ Riihimäen Lasi (Finland)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solifleur bud vase (single-stem)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bullicante (controlled air bubbles), hand-formed lobed base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear trumpet body with Rosaline pink \/ salmon-coral lobed base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1960s–1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim opening:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4cm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 225g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweden or Finland (Scandinavian)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent \/ near mint condition.
