Small, solid, and full of charm, this clear glass owl captures the essence of Scandinavian modernist glass design. Designed by Lars Hellsten for Skruf Glasbruk, the figure combines smooth contours with a lightly textured surface. Compact yet full of character, it’s a piece that feels both timeless and distinctly Nordic.
Hellsten’s work for Skruf in the 1960s and early 1970s reflects a modern approach to decorative glass: simple, symbolic forms with a focus on light and material. This owl is one of his most recognizable small sculptures.
Perfect on a bookshelf, windowsill, or desk. A small reminder of Swedish craftsmanship that works anywhere from minimalist interiors to eclectic vintage settings.
