1960s FM Ronneby whale

We've always liked the figurines of FM Konstglas, the Swedish firm set up in the 1960s by Murano-trained Italian glassblowers, based in the town of Ronneby. Their whales are particularly fine. This one is designed to look mottled and barnacled u...

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 ...

Signed 1960s Berndt vase for Flygsfors

This witty vase from Wiktor Berndt made us smile. It's a squared, stylised figure. Certain clues lead us to believe it's a female figure. Berndt came to Flygsfors in 1955. He was chief designer, taking over from Paul Kedelv, from 1956 to 1974....

Christer Holmgren for Holmegaard pair of signed Eskimo figurines

This is a interesting example of how lighting changes the look of clear glass. Hans has taken a series of photos of this pair - the same shot but with different lighting each time. Each picture looks good, I think, but each is different. Swede,...

Murano-style bull, attributed to FM Konstglas, Ronneby

This is a classic, Murano-style bull design in green and clear crystal. It has no identifying label, however, we bought it in Sweden, and we believe from the look of the glass and the shade of green that it was made there.  Suspicion falls ...

In the 1960s, Lindstrand used the skills his glassblowers had developed in graduating colours (see, for example, http://www.modernistglass.com/glasspieces/view/1855) to make multi-coloured pieces like this vase, which moves from pale amber to blue...

Rare signed 1950s Vicke Lindstrand Kosta vase

This is a small but precious sommerso vase.  It is from the late 50s but didn't appear in the Kosta catalogue of 1959.  Not all designs could be fitted in the catalogue, and the design numbers jump from 1300 to 1326, omitting this design...
