Designed by Gunnar Cyren, for Orrefors glassworks. Production of the "Pop"series was expensive due to the difficulties of successfully combining coloured opaque glass. Each colour heats and cools at a different rate. This design was especially popular since it combines the Swedish national colours of blue and yellow. Incised with "Orrefors Expo B 611-67 Gunnar Cyren"
