For sale is a highly collectible and rare mid-century modern crystal art glass carafe/decanter produced by the historic Kosta glassworks in Sweden. This exceptional piece was designed by legendary glass master Göran Wärff to commemorate Kosta\'s historical legacy.
Released in 1976 as part of a strictly limited jubilee celebration, this piece beautifully translates a classic 19th-century \"collar fluted\" pillar-mold silhouette into heavy, brilliant Swedish crystal. Wärff’s mastery shines through in how the thick, vertical ribs catch, refract, and play with natural light.
The base features a crisp, hand-etched signature and limited edition numbering: \"Kosta / WK 1901 - 1976 146/150\".
