Signed Hulevase (hole vase) by Michael Bang for Kastrup Holmegaard

We bought and listed this clear vase along with another, larger gray one, some time ago, back before too many people had found our website.  We were thinking of a customer who was looking for one.  However he'd found one somewhere else.&...

1950s pinstriped Swedish vase

I've listed a few Lindstrand Kosta pieces with lines in them in the last few days.  Here's a piece to show what some of the lesser Swedish makers can do with stripes.  This is not signed or labelled but is probably from a firm such as Gl...

Signed Paul Kedelv for Reijmyre 1957 'Harlekin' vase

Here's another Paul Kedelv design.  Not our best photos, I'm afraid, but you can see the progression in this 1957 Reijmyre design from his Flygsfors Coquille designs earlier that decade.  This is better than the current photos show, so w...

Set of two Per Lutken Holmegaard 'Fionia' bowls

The Fionia bowl is one of Per Lutken's classic 1950s designs.  Ice blue was, along with smoke grey, his colour of choice in the 50s.  Lutken designed for Holmegaard from 1942 until his death in 1998.  He was a genius of glass design...

Signed 1990s Gunnel Sahlin Kosta Boda bowl

Here's a near-new piece of glass for a change.  We struggle with the values of much modern art glass.  Advances in kiln technology in the last 40 years mean that artists can now be glassmakers as well as designers.  Some of this art...

30cm labelled Strombergshyttan 1950s vase

I like bud vases.  It's interesting to see what different designers do with the challenge of creating a vase for a single stem.  This is designed by Gunnar Nyland for Stromberg in the 1950s in the slightly blue-tinged clear crystal that ...

49cm (20 inch), signed, 1950s Lindstrand Kosta bowl

The first photo shows this backlit on a stand, so you can appreciate the colours, but really, this was designed to sit on a table so that you could look down on it.  If you have a decent sized coffee table or a spot on your dining room table ...

Edvin Ohrstrom Orrefors crystal bowl with 'carved' pattern

Look at the fine grooves  in this bowl and think about the work that must have gone into it. These are all engraved by hand on a blown and twisted bowl.  I'm told that there are modern molded pieces which are somewhat similar to this des...
