Large & medium Kosta Boda Snowballs. Ice textured tealight candle holders, votives. Art glass, lead crystal. Ann Wärff, Scandinavian. Pair

A pair of beautiful tactile Kosta Boda Snowballs - Scandinavian candle holders / table centre pieces. One is the 'medium' size, and one is the less common 'large' size. Made in Sweden. I believe they're 24% lead crystal. Could be up to 45 years old, but more likely circa 1980-1990s. The medium one is unsigned, the larger one is etched with a Kosta Boda logo to the base. The larger one also maintains an original label.

Both in great condition with no chips. Very clean. These are all different, so there are differing moulding marks, lines, bubbles and icy undulations. They're from different sources/ages.

Medium: apx 7.5cm high x 9cm wide (weighs 850g) - so the middle size available. Large: 9.5cm high x 11cm wide (weighs a very heavy 1.39kg). Heavy moulded crystal glass. Suitable for both a tealight candle and a small pillar candle (holes are apx 4cm wide).

Includes P&P to the UK. Price includes two tealight candles.


****
Created by Ann Wärff in 1973, the Snowball has become a classic Kosta Boda design. The snowball votive is crafted of thick, clear crystal with layers, creases, and bumps that give it a realistic look. Set a candle inside through the opening on top, and the light moves through the glass in all directions and angles. The effect is magical on an evening dining table, mantelpiece, or bar.
