Vintage Oberglas “Bark Texture” vase (1960s–1970s)

A true modernist design object by Oberglas, Austria — a pressed glass vase featuring the iconic “bark” texture. A classic of 1960s–70s design, perfectly suited for Scandinavian and mid-century interiors.

The vase is made of thick, transparent pressed glass. Its surface is defined by a bold vertical texture resembling tree bark, allowing light to play across the ridges and creating a deep, sculptural effect.

Crafted using the pressed glass technique, where molten glass is pressed into a metal mold, the vase achieves a precise and repeatable relief pattern. This method became a hallmark of Oberglas in the 1960s–70s, enabling the production of heavy, textured pieces without the fragility of hand-blown glass. The texture is not applied but integral to the form, ensuring durability and long-lasting character.
