Strömbergshyttan 6.5" Heavy Blue Engraved Glass Vase, Swedish Wildflowers, Perfect Gift

Sorry, this item has sold.

This big, beautiful vintage vase depicts three perfect blooms, possibly one of the provincial flowers of Sweden. It is 6.75" high and 4.75" x 4.5" wide, almost square, and tapered. It is a perfect size for display on a sunny windowsill or shelf, though it's quite heavy, weighing 4 pounds, 6 ounces. It is in excellent condition, clear and sparkling. This piece is engraved using a hand-held engraving tool, sort of like a dental drill.

The story of Strömbergshyttan begins in 1876, when a glassworks called Lindfors ("winding falls") opened about 50 km west of Orrefors. In 1933, Edward Strömberg, who was a former head at Orrefors, and his wife Gerda, who was a designer at Eda, leased the company and changed the name to Strömbergshyttan ("Strömberg's hut"). Edward and his son Eric devised a way to produce a glass that had a bluish-silver hue, which became characteristic for Strömbergshyttan. Eric Strömberg and his wife, Asta, bought the company in 1945, and they invested heavily to modernize it. The Strömberg family further upgraded the mill in 1960. For most of the 40+ years that the family controlled the glass mill, Gerda and Asta Strömberg designed the glass. A fire in 1973 left the glassworks in financial difficulties, and it was sold to Orrefors in 1976. Orrefors closed the Strömbergshyttan glassworks just three years later.
