Where is Kosta Boda glass made?
1 Answer

Kosta Boda glass is made in Sweden. Two former army officers founded the company in 1742 in Kosta, a town in Sweden’s densely forested Småland province. It continues to operate in this location to this day. As Sweden’s oldest glass company, Kosta Boda also enjoys a reputation as the country’s most artistic and experimental glassmaker. Since the late 19th century, Kosta Boda has hired painters, sculptors and other artists for short stints — generally two or three years — designing glassware, ensuring the firm’s aesthetic is always lively and fresh.
