Item Description

1960’s Boda glass sculpture by Bertil Vallien

Bertil Vallien (1938-present day ) celebrated 60 years in the Swedish glass industry in 2023. His designs have nearly singly handedly kept the renowned firm of Kosta Boda in business for the last couple of decades. His monumental unique boat sculptures sell for vast sums whilst his many smaller production pieces have sold in vast numbers. He joined the small firm of Afors in 1963 before it merged with the larger better known Kosta and Boda in 1964. Some early pieces are just marked Afors, then slightly later Boda Afors, then like this lovely piece just Boda.

A known production piece made in small numbers this quirky design is typical of his early cast glass sculptures and are reminiscent of the whimsical designs of his fellow countryman the great ceramic designer Stig Lindberg. He also designed some ceramics in the 1960’s for Gustavsberg which are also collectable today.

As you’ll see it’s fully marked on the ebonised wood base.
