1940 signed and labelled 2kg Vicke Lindstrand Orrefors bowl
Here's a Vicke Lindstrand design with some even longer history than that of my last listing. Lindstrand (1904-1983) was the young star designer at Orrefors from 1928 to 1940. In his last year there, he came up with this heavy ashtray.
At that point he left, intending to go to America. However, the war got in the way. He was under a restraint of trade clause preventing him from designing glass in Sweden, so instead spent the next 10 years designing ceramics for Upsala-Ekeby. When the restraint of trade expired in 1950, there was something of a bidding war from glassmakers for his services. He went to Kosta and played a large part in making that firm great.
The last picture shows this piece with another of his designs, this one from his time at Kosta with a more complex finish, but a similar shape.
