This rounded version of the Reptil vase stands out within Stig Lindberg's iconic series for its softer, more organic silhouette. With its gentle curves, light-blue semi-matte glaze, and signature "reptile scale" texture, this 18 cm vase captures the refined artistry and playful spirit that define Scandinavian mid-century design.
Each piece features a sculptural, high-relief texture inspired by reptile skin and natural surfaces—an exploration of tactility and form that became one of Lindberg's trademarks. The 18 cm rounded version adds a softer profile to the series' signature texture, offering a more fluid and harmonious presence.
