The art of glassmaking is a centuries-old craft. Over time, materials such as quartz sand, potash, manganese dioxide, dolomite, and barium carbonate have been used—among others. The formulas have evolved, refined, and improved. However, it was not until the turn of the 19th century that glass production truly soared to new artistic heights. From this era, we present a truly exquisite dish by Émile Gallé—where even the signature itself is a work of art. From there, a bridge is drawn over the developments that made Sweden a world leader in glass artistry. Welcome to explore magnificent pieces by Eva Englund, Sven Palmqvist, Edvin Öhrström, Vicke Lindstrand, and several more of our most outstanding glass artists.
