Kosta Boda “Snowball” Votive Candle Holder by Ann Wärff – Swedish Crystal – 1973
An iconic Kosta Boda “Snowball” votive candle holder designed by Ann Wärff in Sweden in 1973. One of Kosta Boda’s most recognisable designs, the piece features a distinctive textured crystal surface inspired by Swedish snow lanterns.
The heavy clear crystal has a rugged, ice-like exterior of layered creases and raised textures, beautifully diffusing candlelight to create a warm glowing effect. The Snowball design remains highly collectible among enthusiasts of Scandinavian glass and modernist design.
A classic example of Swedish glass design, equally suited to collectors or contemporary decorative interiors.
