Vintage Cobalt Blue “Bamboo” Glass Vase by Bo Borgstrom for Aseda Glasbruk, 1960s.

A classic and commanding example of Swedish mid-century glass, this “Bamboo” vase by Bo Borgström for Åseda Glasbruk dates from the 1960s and features a striking cobalt blue colourway.

The segmented, cane-inspired form is instantly recognisable, with raised bands encircling the body to mimic natural bamboo. In this deep cobalt tone, the sculptural quality of the design is beautifully highlighted. Light gently filters through the glass, creating subtle depth and a luminous richness. Depending on the ambient light, the colour can shift from an intense deep blue to a vibrant cobalt glow.

Compared to lighter or gradient examples, this version has a strong visual presence, making it an ideal standalone statement piece. It pairs wonderfully with warm woods such as teak and rosewood, and complements both minimalist and layered interiors alike.

A confident piece of 1960s Scandinavian design — simple in form, yet rich in character.

🧡 Why It Stands Out

The deep cobalt blue tone emphasizes the sculptural “bamboo” form, giving the piece a bold, refined presence. A timeless and highly collectible example from Borgström’s celebrated 1960s series.
