Kosta Boda Fidji Vase, Large, 17-3/4-Inch, Green

Designed by artist Kjell Engman, known for his play with refraction and light, the Fidji bottles from Kosta Boda capture the strange and elegant power of glass at its best. Fluid, fascinating, and beautifully prismatic, these pieces are both vivid and peaceful, thanks to an interplay of colors and effortless form.

Created in three heights, each of the Fidji bottles blends multiple hues while allowing for a dominant note in each size. Standing 17-3/4 inches high, this bottle is both warm and cool in tone, with green taking center stage. The finish on the piece is glossy, and the flat rim has a soft, organic frill.

Handmade by master glassmakers in Kosta Boda's Swedish glassworks, each edition of the bottle is distinct in its particular details, ensuring your version is truly unique. Completely lead-free, the bottle stands alone with ease or coordinates with the smaller Fidji pieces.

The cooperative relationship between the designers and skilled craftspeople at Kosta Boda is essential in transferring the designers' intentions to the glass. This diversity of individual artistic expression and the free, uninhibited creative process have become the distinguishing characteristics of the Kosta Boda brand.

Kosta, the parent glassworks of Kosta Boda, has a fascinating history that forms a valuable part of Swedish cultural heritage. Founded in 1742 by two former generals, the works was situated deep in the spruce forests of Småland, chosen for the unlimited availability of wood required to fuel the glassmaking furnaces.

Initially producing only utility glass, Kosta began enlisting designers and artists in 1898 to enrich the glassmaking tradition. Today, Kosta Boda has a unique right to describe itself as an art industry, where designers and craftspeople work closely together on handmade utility glass and art glass.

Kosta Boda's "daughter works" of Boda and Åfors, established in the 19th century, have also contributed to the company's legacy. Under the innovative leadership of designers like Erik Höglund, Kjell Engman, and Ulrica Hydman-Vallien, these glassworks have brought a renaissance to the small local communities.

Now one of the world's leading glass companies, Kosta Boda sells its colorful, handmade art glass globally, with roughly 50 percent of production sold outside Scandinavia. This heritage, developed in the glassworks of Kosta, Boda, and Åfors, is a source of Swedish pride.
