Bertil Vallien is devoted and consistent. His objects created for Kosta Boda develop over time, and he is always looking to extract more from his work. Gatekeeper is a case in point. Previous executions range from charcoal drawings to glass and metal objects. In the summer of 2021, large-format adaptations were exhibited in the famous garden of the Royal Palace “Solliden”, on Öland in Sweden, providing a magnificent spectacle for the audience. The two impressive Gatekeeper figures from the exhibition – almost 20 inches tall and fixed by thin wires – gave the impression of drifting. A trademark Vallien face rests inside these shimmering miniature Gatekeepers. This peaceful and mythical sculpture...

Bertil Vallien for Kosta Boda – Glass Rooster and Hen Figurines, Sweden, Mid-20th Century. Original labels still in place. Molded clear glass. Excellent vintage condition, with no chips or cracks. Dimensions: - rooster 13.5 cm x 12 cm - hen 11 cm × 4.5 cm A striking pair of clear glass bird sculptures—rooster and hen—designed by Bertil Vallien, one of Sweden’s most revered glass artists. These pieces were produced by Boda Sweden, the iconic glassworks known for its fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modernist design. The rooster stands upright with a proud, curled tail and finely etched plumage, embodying strength and vigilance. The hen, seated with tail feathers softly fanned, offers a gentle counterbalance—symbolizing calm and domestic grace. Together, they form a harmonious duo, rich in symbolism and sculptural elegance. Vallien’s work is celebrated for its poetic minimalism and symbolic depth. While he is best known for his sand-cast glass sculptures, these molded pieces reflect his mastery of form and light on a more intimate scale. His designs are held in major museum collections and are highly sought after by collectors of Scandinavian modernism. 💎 Collector’s Notes - Original manufacturer's labels “Boda” on bases, confirming origin within the Kosta Boda family...
