1970s Monica Backstrom Boda vase and egg

In the 1970s Monica Backstrom designed a series of eggs with mottled surfaces for Boda, the firm she joined in 1965. This one, with brown on duck egg blue is a particularly attractive colour combination. The vase is in the same colours and they make a very nice set at a bargain price.

Boda was part of the Afors Group, along with Afors and Kosta, from the early 1970s. All used the Kosta Boda name from the mid-80s. Backstrom, the wife of Erik Hoglund, another famous glass designer, stil maintains a studio at Boda Glassworks.
