Up for bid is a very fine large Orrefors “Expo” crystal vase with engraved decoration by Sven Palmqvist.  The vase is 13 inches tall by about 6 inches in diameter and is made of heavy clear crystal.  It has engraved and etched decoration of a woman in a long flowing dress, holding a bundle of flowers, with blossoms falling to the ground and blowing around the rest of the exterior.  It is signed “Orrefors Palmqvist 1718 / 2600 BJP” on the base, as well as “EXPO441”.  Supposedly these Expo pieces are one of a kind. 

Condition on the piece is good.  There are no chips or cracks, but there are a few deeper scratches and scuffs on both the exterior and interior.  There is normal wear to the foot rim.  A fine piece of Swedish art glass!
