This is a lovely vintage model of a hippopotamus which dates to the 1970s.
It is a fine piece from the Kosta Boda glass from the Zoo Series - which features stylised animals - made in clear glass - often with flat backs.
This large hippo was designed by Bertil Vallien.
In excellent vintage condition with no damages.
As you can see from my photographs - the detailing and modelling are very detailed and certainly beautifully rendered.
This is one of the largest animals in the series - and measures in at just under 8 1/2 inches wide.
Mr Hippo is about 5 inches in height.
He is a shallow model and can be displayed upright - his depth is only about 1 3/4 inches
Weight: 1.5 kg in weight.
A nice fair price for this vintage piece of collectable Swedish art glass.
