Description
A gorgeous cut and rather large crystal decorative art glass vase and art miniature sculpture or paper weight made and signed by Mona Morales Schildt from the 1960s. She is regarded as one of Sweden's most talented glass designers. Her objects can be seen in museums and art galleries all over the world. Her work always holds an extremely high standard when it comes to shape, color and standard. These are very rare and beautiful hand cut crystal art objects. The precision of the glass renders amazing optical effects, especially when the sun catches the surface.
The vase is 27.5cm (10.82') and around 9cm (3,54') in diameter and the paper weight is 10,5cm (4.13") in high and around 4.5cm (1.77") in diameter. This is a studio production, made at Kosta glass mill, where the designer has showcased her immense talent as glass designer. There are a few minor abrasions underneath, yet overall are they in a great condition and unique objects. The price is for both objects and includes free shipping
Sommerso glass is a very advanced technique used in order to create several layers of glass often with different contrasting colors or materials inside a single object, giving the illusion of “immersed” colors that lay on top of each other without mixing. Here she has used brown and blue colored glass and covered it with clear crystal.
Kosta Boda; where tradition meet innovation especially when it comes to high end design and art glass making.
Kosta has a long and old history yet became leading when it came to mid-century modern art glass due to some of Scandinavia’s most renowned designers such as Bertil Vallien, Mona Morales, Monica Backström, Göran Wärff and Ulrika Hydman-Vallien. They focused on functionality as well as interesting and groundbreaking interior design in the 1970s-80s. However, this was only possible due to a previous outstanding mid-century modern designer; Vicke Lindström.
The history and development of Kosta’s art and design glass.
In 1903, the company merged with the Reijmyre glasbruk (glassworks) but both retained their own names. Both companies eventually became known as producers of exclusive art and design glass, in their own right. Consequently, Kosta went on to maintain its reputation as one of the leading Swedish and Scandinavian manufacturers with a range of fine art glass and tableware by distinguished designers such as Vicke Lindstrand, artistic director from 1950-1973. With Vicke Lindstrand in charge of the modern art glass production. His legacy is that Kosta became one of the most important companies when it comes to production of modern and mid-century modern art glass and interior design objects in the 1960s and 70s following Vicke Lindström’s passion for Scandinavian design Bertil Vallien and his wife Ulrika Hydman-Vallien continued the tradition, often focusing on vases as well as other modern glass objects. Thus, lots of their range is today still seen as modern and retro classics.
Yet the history of Kosta Boda is much older.
Founded in 1742 had an early production focusing on consisted of window glass, chandeliers and drinking glasses. From the 1840s, the factory was at the forefront of new trends and technical developments, producing pressed glass, and in the 1880s setting up a new glass-cutting workshop. The factory is situated in what is known as the Chrystal Kingdom region in Sweden. Due to the long history, skills and outstanding design when it comes to art glass, Kosta Boda has become one of Scandinavia’s leading brand when it comes to design and art glass suitable for innovative interior design and decoration.
