Achieving a true, deeply saturated ruby in glass requires the addition of gold chloride to the molten batch, a process that is both technically demanding and expensive, and that produces a colour with a warmth and depth that no other glass colour quite replicates. In a bullicante base, where the ruby glass is packed with a dense constellation of controlled air bubbles, the effect is extraordinary: the bubbles catch and scatter the light through the red glass, producing a glow that shifts from crimson to garnet depending on the angle. This is one of the most sought-after colour combinations in mid-century Scandinavian art glass, and a well-preserved example in this condition is genuinely hard to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is a classic solifleur — a slender clear crystal stem designed for a single stem, narrowing to a seamless join with the heavy ruby red sphere base. Attributed to Åseda Glasbruk in Sweden, most likely from the Bo Borgström design stable, and finished with a smooth polished pontil on the underside — the mark of a maker who took pride in the quality of their work. A considered addition to a Scandinavian glass collection, a mid-century shelf, or a windowsill where the ruby will catch the afternoon light and do something genuinely beautiful with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle \/ Attribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attributed to Åseda Glasbruk, Sweden (Bo Borgström)\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 Cased glass, bullicante (controlled air bubbles), polished pontil base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear crystal stem with ruby red bullicante sphere base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa late 1960s–1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim opening:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2cm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition.
