Orrefors Olle Alberius Signed Expo Crystal Rooster with Original Labels

About the Item

Orrefors Signed Art Glass crystal rooster signed Orrefors Expo 211-72 O. Alberius. (Olle Alberius, 1972) With Orrefors Sweden shield shaped label on bottom front and a very worn Shreve, Crump and Low label on the bottom. Perhaps this piece was made for an exhibition of Orrefors at this venerated establishment in Boston. According to the reference below it would seem this piece is a very early expo piece by Alberius. The reference mentions his first Expo piece for Orrefors was 200-72, this one is 211-72. This piece weighs over 7 pounds (3.2 kg). It measures 8.75'' x 5.5'' x 4'' 22.22 by 14 x 10 cm The 'Expo' items from Orrefors are in a limited edition and often made for exhibitions. They are not unique, but a complete signature on an Expo-item is Orrefors + EXPO + the initial or initials of the designer + number + year. The first Expo-signed item by Olle Alberius is numbered 200-72. (Ref: Kerstin Wickman ed., 1998, Orrefors: Etthundra år av svensk glaskonst, Stockholm: Byggförlaget-Kultur.
