A pair of beautiful tactile Kosta Boda Snowballs - Scandinavian tealight candle holders / table centre pieces. Made in Sweden. I believe they're 24% lead crystal. Circa 1980s vintage. 
These are all different and handmade, so there are differing moulding marks, lines, bubbles. This pair are vintage with more random textured outsides, unsigned to the bases and with no central inner knobble. Lots of lovely icy undulations. 
Both in very good condition with no noticeable flaws or chips. Very clean. Apx 7.5cm high x 9cm wide - so the middle size available. Heavy molded crystal glass, weigh a hefty 1.7kg together. Suitable for both a tealight candle and a small pillar candle (round central holes are apx 4.3cm 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.
