Vintage Aseda Bo Borgstrom vase. 5" cased luminous/acid/vibrant yellow art glass. Swedish Scandinavian, retro 1960s/70s. Mid century ringed

A striking and petite art glass vase, designed by Bo Borgstrom in the 1960s for Aseda, Sweden.

It's a really vibrant luminous yellow/lime, like vaseline/uranium glass, but it has no glow under UV light. I have no idea how they made it! The yellow has some white content in the lower area making it opaque above the clear casing. I believe they call this 'opalescent yellow' (p34 of 'Scandinavian Glass 1930-2000 Fire and Sea' book). Unusual and hard to find colouring.

It has a wide flared rim with a wide hoop/ring in the middle, cased with clear glass at the solid slim base. Most likely mouth blown into a mould. Just shy of 13cm tall x 10cm wide rim.

Excellent condition for age/era, I can only find one small fine scratch. Great example and stunning on display! No maker's marks - they all had stickers back in the day.
