Not quite transparent, not quite opaque, smokey grey glass has a quiet, atmospheric quality that sits beautifully in a minimalist interior: it absorbs light rather than reflecting it, and the bullicante bubbles suspended in the base glow softly rather than sparkling. It is a more restrained colour than ruby or emerald, and it attracts a more restrained collector — someone who appreciates the form and the craft over the drama of colour. If you are building a mid-century glass collection and you want something that works with everything rather than competing with everything, fumée is the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is a classic solifleur — a slender smokey grey stem designed for a single stem, narrowing to a seamless join with the weighted grey sphere base packed with densely controlled air bubbles. Attributed to Åseda Glasbruk in Sweden, most likely from the Bo Borgström design stable, and finished with a smooth polished pontil on the underside. There is a small flea-bite chip on the top rim — noted honestly, the edge has worn smooth over time and is not sharp to the touch — which makes this an accessible entry point into Scandinavian art glass collecting without the premium price of a mint example. The base, the bullicante, and the pontil are all perfect.\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 Bullicante (controlled air bubbles), polished pontil base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smokey grey \/ fumée throughout\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\u003eGood vintage condition with a noted defect.
