Swedish Modern Glass
Sweden has been known for its fine glass objects since the 18th Century when the great Swedish glass factories like Orrefors and Kosta Boda were founded. In the 20th Century, glass was second only to ceramics as a medium of expression for the great Swedish designers that pioneered the Swedish modern design movement.
Here you will see offered glass objects from Sweden's great glass factories, with a particular emphasis on the classic designs of the 1950s. Our Scandinavian design expert, Jenny Richmond, carefully selects each piece that we offer to make sure that is a good example of its type.

This is a great flowerpot by the Pukeberg Glass Works in Nybro, Sweden. It was probably made in the 1960s. I don't know who the designer was since it is only marked with a label. Beautiful green color on the outside and white opaque glass on the inside. 4 3/8" high and 5 1/4" in diameter. Beautiful, clean condition. It probably has not been used as a flowerpot Item # AN208090304
