A 1950s Swedish clear glass with air bubbles bowl by Vicke Lindstrand for Kosta
About the Item
A 1950s Swedish clear glass with air bubbles bowl by Vicke Lindstrand for Kosta.
Made from hand-blown glass with air bubbles. The bowl has an undulating rim, which is not perfectly symmetrical and gives it a more natural handmade appearance.
The underside of the bowl is etched with the Lindstrand for Kosta mark as well as the model number LH 1008.
Vicke Lindstrand (Viktor Emanuel Lindstrand) is renowned for his role as a great pioneer in the history of Swedish art glass. He served as a very important and productive glass artist in his country for more than 50 years.
In 1928 Lindstrand met the famous glass artist Simon Gate at an industry exhibition in Jonkobing. Gate hired Lindstrand to work at the Orrefors Glassworks, where he soon established himself as a glass artist of international format.
Already in 1930 Vicke Lindstrand was so well known, that the press began to write about the "Orrefors-trio" consisting of Simon Gate, Edward Hald and Vicke Lindstrand. He worked for Orrefors until 1940.
Later, Lindstrand was affiliated with the Kosta glassworks from 1950 to 1973 as the leading artist. During that time he changed the Kosta design style radically. In 1953 the glassworks built a mansion for the artist, the Kosta-house, in which he lived until his death in 1983. For the last ten years of his life, Lindstrand worked freelance in his own studio in the Kosta-house.

Kosta Boda
Sweden’s oldest glass company, Kosta Boda, also enjoys a reputation as the country’s most artistic and experimental glassmaker. Since the late 19th century, Kosta Boda has hired painters, sculptors and other artists for short stints — generally two or three years — designing glassware, ensuring that the firm’s aesthetic is always lively and fresh.
Two former army officers founded Kosta Boda in 1742 in Sweden’s densely forested Småland province. (Plentiful timber was needed as fuel for the melting furnaces.) The glassworks’ early products consisted of everyday glassware, such as drinking vessels and windowpanes. As the company recruited master craftsmen from Bohemia, it created fine crystal for an aristocratic clientele.
Kosta Boda began making art glass — that is, unique and limited edition pieces — with the hiring of the painter Gunnar Wennerberg in 1898. Wennerberg worked in the Art Nouveau style and brought a lush, organic look to the company’s wares. He was followed to the firm by artists such as Edvin Ollers, who in the early- 20th century created rich geometric and abstract floral patterns that were engraved on clear crystal.
Two post-war Kosta Boda designers stand foremost in the minds of collectors. One is Vicke Lindstrand, who excelled at a technique called cased glass, in which a vividly colored or patterned section of glass is surrounded by and seems to float within a clear crystal body. The other is Erik Höglund, who had an almost artisanal eye for glass shapes, and liked to produce glass that had a textured, warped look. As you will see from the many pieces available on 1stDibs, Kosta Boda created works in an astonishing array of styles, with something to suit any taste.
