Art deco engraved glass vase by Edvin Öhrström (1906 - 1994)
Chic vintage art deco glass vase by Edvin Öhrström (1906 - 1994), engraved with a stylised nude female figure, marked 2930.
Edvin Öhrström was working for the railways when he decided one day to leave his job and take up sculpture. One of the first lessons he probably learnt was the difficulty of keeping a family an the earnings of his new profession. In 1936 he accepted regular employment, working for two months every year as a designer with the Orrefors glass factory; here in the words of the Art Lexicon, he created "in ariel glass a personal version of graal glass,” as well as contributing to “a renewal in engraved glass.” In company with such artists as S. Gate, E. Hald, S. Palmquist and others, Öhrström has been instrumental in giving modern Swedish glass its special qualities as well as its world-wide reputation.
