Erik Hoglund Mid Century Modern Figural Glass People Decanter Stopper Signed

About the Item

A vintage, mid twentieth century clear glass decanter by Erik Hoglund for Boda. This figural decanter from the iconic People Series features a face in the stopper and two arms with fingers clasped around the body of the decanter. From the Mother Sweden website, "Erik Höglund designed the People series in 1957 for Boda. It consists of sculptural decanters with geometric forms, unicolored glass, and joyous expression. Erik Höglund (1932–1998) designed many classics for the Swedish Boda glassworks. One of the most well-known series is People from 1957. It consists of sculptural decanters with geometric forms, unicolored glass, and joyous expression. The people come in five different colors: amber, blue, clear, gray, or green. The glass mass often contains induced air bubbles. Most of the decanters have stoppers with stamped faces. The arms are added glass strings with no desire for symmetry. Erik’s people were either free-blown or mould-blown. On the lower side, they are marked with the model number."

    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A late 19th century Louis XV style Rafraichissoir based on a design by renowned cabinet maker Joseph Gengenbach dit Canabas (1715 - 1797). The rafraichissoir was developed in the 18th century as a result of the need for privacy and thanks to the implementation of a new room, the dining room. The 18th century French aristocracy had a need for a breakfast, luncheon or dinner without eavesdropping by nosy servants. And so, the rafraichissoir came into being. A small table on casters...

  • Powerful Hoi Lebadang Abstract Mid Century Lithograph Signed and Numbered
    By Hoi Lebadang
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A mid 20th century lithograph print by Vietnamese / French artist Hoi Lebadang (1921 - 2015) signed and numbered. The colors employed, shades of red, white and charcoal set against a golden yellow, signify warmth and richness. The abstract composition beckons further inspection. The techniques used for creating this work of art include an embossed area of the work where the paper surface is raised in an abstract design. This work is presented in its original frame. I knew nothing of the artist when I bought this work, I simply knew that it appealed to me. A quick search online revealed this fascinating biography on the artist that I hope you'll read and enjoy. This comes from the Outside Folk Gallery website, "War shaped the life of Lebadang (Lê Bá Đảng.) Sometimes called Hoi Lebadang, this painter’s experiences in colonial-era Vietnam and WWII-era France flow into his work. Working at the turning point between 19th-century bohemianism and 20th-century modernism, he existed in two worlds simultaneously. The path that brought Lebadang to France in 1939 and secured his place in art history is complex. Looking at his childhood, you would never guess that this young Vietnamese boy would have such an impact on the art world. After shortening his name in 1950 to Lebadang, he only used Hoi when making lithographs. In colonial-era Vietnam, the French ruled Vietnam from the 1880s until 1954; France beckoned like a beacon for art and culture. Lê Bá Đảng (surname, middle name, given name), born in 1921, grew up with his eyes fixed on France. He grew up in a middle-class peasant family and, after primary school, felt the pull to travel. Lebadang signed...
