About the Item

The vase and bowl have a dark midnight blue color which has been covered with clear crystal, they are a part of the "Dusk" series, this color is very rare for Dusk and it is just amazing. Dusk is a part of the famous Mid-century modernist artwork that was produced by the designer. The shape is classic, which makes it very sophisticated and elegant. Landberg has often been described as a master of crystal, which is very obvious in this vase, which is truly fantastic. -The vase is 22.5cm (8.85") high and 10.5cm (4.13") wide and 6cm (2.36") deep, some very minor abrasions underneath yet overall, in a great condition. -The bowl is 6cm (2.36') high, 12cm (4.72') wide and 8cm (3,13') deep, both objects are signed the price is for both objects and includes free shipping. Orrefors (1898-2012) was one of Sweden’s, and partly the whole world’s, leading glasbruk (glasswork) company. In 1913, Orrefors started to produce drinking glasses, vases and other house-ware items. The owner, Ekman, hired Heinrich Wollman, who originated from Bohemia, which had a long tradition in glass-making. They started to make the first attempts at modern art glass, often used as interior design objects, such as a wide range of modern crystal vases. Their designs use characteristic clean lines of brilliant crystal that suggests a frozen liquid. Their modern take on glass art and interior design objects was greatly admired when it was displayed to a wide audience at the Paris Exhibition of 1925. Some of the most well-known modern Scandinavian designers and artist were Olle Alberius, Göran Wärff, Vicke Lindstrand, Rolf Nilsson, Nils Landberg and Ingeborg Lundin during the 1960s and 70s.
