Despite the high level of collector interest in modern Scandinavian art glass, there have been few if any publications devoted exclusively to Swedish glass made from 1930-1970. The author sets forth a concise history of the two major Swedish glass producers during their peak decades, identifies those artists and designs that are of primary importance, and assigns estimated values to these works. The focus of this work is on limited production, “ œhigh end“ designs, rather than on the commercial output of these firms. The text is illustrated with color photos from the author’s own outstanding collection as well as a number of illustrations supplied by Bo Knutsson Art & Antiques, perhaps Sweden’s leading dealer in the 20th century Swedish glass.

This is one of the most beautiful books on the subject of glassmaking that you will ever see. It contains a selection of the work of Sweden’s master designer, Bengt Edenfalk, from his years first at Skruf and then at Kosta Glassworks, to examples of his private production since 1989. Of great interest are those pieces fashioned in the experimental “ œThalatta“ technique and its later applications with brilliant colors.
