This stunning Kraka Vase by Orrefors, designed by renowned Swedish artist Sven Palmquist, is a 1950s original that exemplifies the beauty of mid-century Swedish art glass. Standing an impressive 12 inches tall, this large vase, model Nr. 322, was introduced in the 1950s and remains in good condition with no chips or cracks.
The vase exhibits minor wear, consistent with a gently handled vintage glass piece, and has some light water spots inside that did not come off with gentle cleaning. These small imperfections add to its charm and authenticity.
Signed Orrefors, Kraka Nr. 322, Sven Palmqvist, this is an earlier, original creation by Palmquist himself—not one of the later reproductions of his iconic work. This collectible art glass vase is perfect for lovers of mid-century design, Scandinavian art, or anyone seeking a striking decorative accent.

The Kraka Vase by Orrefors complements several decorating styles, thanks to its sleek design, craftsmanship, and mid-century origins:
Mid-Century Modern: Its clean lines, minimalist elegance, and Scandinavian roots make it a perfect fit for mid-century modern spaces, enhancing the simplicity and functionality that define the style.
Scandinavian/Scandi: The vase’s understated beauty and attention to craftsmanship are hallmarks of Scandinavian design, pairing well with neutral tones, natural materials, and minimalist aesthetics.
Modern/Contemporary: The clear, geometric form and sophisticated look work well in modern interiors that prioritize simplicity, functionality, and sleek decor.
Minimalist: The vase’s refined shape and lack of ornamentation are ideal for minimalist spaces, offering a statement piece without overwhelming the design.
Eclectic: Its artistic and unique design can complement a mix of styles, adding a touch of elegance and craftsmanship to more eclectic, curated spaces.
Art Deco: While not strictly Art Deco, the vase’s bold, elegant form could also work in settings inspired by Art Deco’s emphasis on artistic, geometric shapes.
This versatile vase can seamlessly integrate into both modern and traditional interiors, adding a touch of Swedish artistry to any space.
