This concise, easy-to-read, and informative publication explains why Willy Johansson is the driving force behind the centuries old Hadeland Glassworks in Norway. While working as a designer at Hadeland, Willy Johansson received many awards, some of which include a Diploma d’Honneure for his sensitively shaped vases, and a gold medal at the Triennale in 1957. Willy Johansson collaborated with his father to produce K-glass. Johansson’s trademark is the large whole form, with a firm sense of proportion in vases, bowls, and dishes.

Claës Norstedt’s lifework was of great importance to the Finnish glass industry for several reasons. He organized one of the largest glass collections in Finland, became director of two important glassworks, and finally, he contributed greatly to the documentation of the industry through his studies of 18th and 19th century glass manufacturing in Finland. In addition to presenting Norstedt’s story as well as a catalogue of over 500 items in his gorgeous collection, this book addresses the early days of the Finnish glass industry, the profession of glass-blowing, and the art glass as well as household products that resulted.

Japanese artists possess the uncanny ability of incorporating their traditions into their drive for technological progress. They are constantly transgressing the divide between history and future, art and craft, inspiration and dissociation, reality and fantasy, body and spirit. Also, the works of these artists exhibited exceptional atmosphere, material sensitivity, loyalty towards shape and form, and compelling subtlety. These various factors prompted the Glasmuseum to enter into constant dialogue with Japanese glass artists and museum colleagues, a dialogue which ultimately resulted in this fascinating exhibition.
