Dating / background Goran Warff (1933–2022) was a leading Kosta/Kosta Boda designer from the mid‑1960s onward, known for serene clear‑crystal forms with strong optics. The etched model no. 47802 follows Kosta’s numbering used on studio‑designed series of this era. Condition Good vintage condition: light surface marks and minor shelf wear to base from normal use. Trapped bubbles/striations from hand production present—typical for Kosta studio glass. Some film in bowl. Dimensions Height: 5 in (12.7 cm). Max width visually about 4–4.5 in at the widest point (visual estimate). Care Hand‑wash only. Avoid dishwasher and sudden temperature changes. Use non‑abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Styling Display solo, add a single stem, or group with other Scandinavian crystal for a luminous vignette.
