Glass bowl, turn-mould blown, wheel cut, possibly Gerda Strömberg or Gunnar Nylund, Strömbergshyttan, Sweden, designed about 1950-60, manufactured about 1963.

Glass bowl, pale blue, hexagonal shape, rounded inside, broad flat cut outside, turn-mould blown and wheel cut.

Gift of Sue Teper

Gerda Strömberg provided almost all designs for Strömbergshyttan from 1933-55. Gunnar Nylund became Art Director in 1954. The glassworks 'trademark' is the use of lightly tinted glass (usually blue) and simple, heavy shapes, as here. This bowl could be by G. Strömberg herself, it could be an adaptation of a G. Strömberg design or a new design by G. Nylund. It was purchased by Miss Teper in 1963, 'new, from a small china and glass store in Lund as a present for her mother'. 'T' in the mark indicates the category 'bowl'. Design numbers reached 377 in 1962. This indicates a large increase in design production in 1963. Miss Temper was quite sure about the purchase date.
