Gallery label
The interior of this vase was decorated with a turn-mould, a technique developed by Öhrström. A fireclay form is inserted into a gather of hot glass and then withdrawn, in the normal way. Then decoration is made in the hot glass by incising with the turn-mould, which is similar to a metal 'comb'.
