Product code: Swedish buying Art Glass Basket Coquille Swedish by Paul Kedelv signed and dated 1962

I have to admit I think this is the most stunning piece in my shop. This amazing piece of art was just sitting there waiting to find it's new home. I want to facilitate that for you. What first came to mind was Breast Cancer. What a wonderful gift to give someone finishing or starting treatment. OR you might be an art glass collector buying that just loves beautiful things. Either way it's in near perfect condition, a few minor scratches on the polished base and of course the signature noted 1962. It really looks like it has been suspended in time.

Info about the company: Flygsfors Glassworks was a glass manufacturer in Sweden from 1888 to 1979. It produced a wide range of glass, and is best known for its art glass that was collected all over the world. In 1949, Paul Kedelv joined Flygsfors to design light fixtures, and during his time at Flygsfors, he created the most popular and recognizable ranges of art glass ever manufactured at the company. Paul received his education at the National College of Art, Craft and Design in Stockholm, where he was taught by the world famous glass artist Edvin Öhrström. He then worked for Orrefors from 1937 to 1946, and at Nuutajarvi Notsjo for 1 year before he came over to work at Flygsfors. In 1952, he designed the Coquille (which is shell in Swedish) range of art glass. This range of art glass was distinguished by its organic forms with cased layers of transparent and opaque colored glass, and was inspired by sea shells. The Coquille range became Flygsfors' most popular and world renowned line of glass, and was produced into the early 60s. While at Flygsfors, Kedelv became the chief designer, and then left the company to join Reijmyre in 1956.
