A Triton vase in vaguely blue tinted clear, multi-faceted, beveled and polished crystal glass. Designed in 1916 by Sculptor Simon Gate (1893-1945) and examples of this design was executed at Orrefors until 1920. According to our research a clear example has not been for sale since 2008.
The underside of the base is scratched excessively and you can barely make the word Orrefors out.
