About the Item

The bowl is a beautifully designed and unique bowl that will give your cocktail or dinner table a special "stand-out" appearance. The bowl stands alone as a wonderful decorative item, yet is large enough to hold condiments, nuts or your mother’s recipe for the perfect holiday relish! Make sure your husband has had his workout as this bowl, at nearly 12 pounds is a workout within itself getting it from one place to another. The artist, Vicke Lindstrand was a star at Orrefors. As a child, Lindstrand was interested in drawing. He had studied commercial art and worked in commercial illustration before beginning his career at the glass manufacturer Orrefors in 1928. He pioneered more daring art glass designs at Orrefors and together with Edvin Öhrström and Knut Bergqvist he invented the Ariel technique. In 1950 he joined Kosta Glasbruk as an artistic director before his retirement in 1973. At Kosta, he was the dominant designer, lending his name to many now classic designs. At this point, Lindstrand began to inject more and more color into his creations, which resulted in iconic designs such as trees in the fog and autumn. He spent the last ten years of his life as a freelance artist working with Hanne Dreutler and Arthur Zirrnsack at Studio Glashyttan in Åhus. He made his debut as a designer at the Stockholm World Fair in 1930, where he presented 12 glass vases with enamel decor in exotic patterns. For this he received great attention from international design publications. Lindstrand added new artistic dimensions to the already famous Orrefors glass with his unique designs and revitalization of classic forms and techniques. During his time at Orrefors he worked on engraved glass and Graal vases. With sculptor Edvin Öhrström he developed the new Ariel technique (named by his actress wife Kristina). Orrefors could not afford to keep Lindstrand during the war and between 1943-1950 he became creative leader at Uppsala Ekeby, where he designed many different stoneware objects ranging from pots to figural sculptures.
