In my view, ariel is just about the most clever and beautiful glassmaking there is.  This is drop-dead gorgeous.  Pernilla has done a pretty good job of capturing it in her photos but really, it's so much better in the flesh.  You c...

Kjell Engman 1980s vase for Kosta Boda

I like the shape of this - like a broad-shouldered man.  The mouth of this vase is round but the rest is an oval with almost sharp ends. If you look closely at the pics you'll see what I mean. Kjell Engman has been a designer for Kosta Boda...

Labelled modernist 1960s Eva Englund ashtray for Pukeberg

This is such a cool design, I can barely bring myself to sell it.  It's all clever angles and it just screams 'modernist', but it also has the brilliant textured effect that is seen in Pukeberg pieces of this era, reminiscent of ice, plus a g...
