Designed by Sven Palmqvist in 1941, and copper-wheel engraved, this crystal vase is a perfect example of Swedish craft in the mid 20th century. The vase is 3.5 inches wide and 4.5 inches high, and it weighs about 2 pounds. The design number 2722 tells us that the vase was designed in 1942, and the date code C1 means that this particular piece was made in 1953. Pieces like these were often exported to the USA or sold as souvenirs in Sweden.
Orrefors employed master artists and craftsmen, some of whom worked their whole careers of 40, 50, or more years with the company. Sven Palmqvist (1906-1984) was born in the glass district of southern Sweden and started his career with Orrefors in 1928, where he remained until 1972. In those years, he designed hundreds of engraved glass motifs. Palmqvist had a particular fondness for portraying people and animals.
