"Open Minds" miniature vase by Ulrica Hydman-Vallien for Boda

This near-mint, Signed and Numbered example of Ulrica Hydman-Vallien's "Open Minds" Series in formed in transparent glass, blown and cased in sapphire glass. It is then contoured to form the basic form of eyes and a nose. After the glass has cooled it is then cold painted giving it the details of the rest of the face.
Not only is this item etched with it's signature and number on the base, it is also hand signed by the artist in paint on the side and even still bares it's original transparent "Boda, Sweden" sticker.
I great investment for the Scandinavian glass enthusiast of a marvelous unique gift!
