The objects were created between 1990 and 1995 in Sweden in Småland by the Orrefors Company. Under each item, engraved by hand, is the name of the company, then the model number, and finally, being limited edition items, the number of the item itself. Småland is a historic province in southern Sweden overlooking the Baltic Sea. The Orrefors Glassworks was founded in 1898 on the site of an old iron factory, and until 1913 the company produced mainly window and bottle glass. When Consul Johan Ekman purchased the factory in 1913, Orrefors began producing glasses, vases, and other household goods. Ekman hired brothers Eugen and Knut Bergkvist, who had previously worked at Kosta Boda, as well as Fritz Blomqvist and Heinrich Wollman, a craftsman who came from Bohemia and had a long tradition of glassmaking. Early attempts to make art glass were in the style of famous French glassworks such as Daum and Gallé. Prestigious designers, glassblowers, cutters, painters, and engravers did their part every day in this skilled work, and each object at Orrefors is a unique and sophisticated piece of craftsmanship. The Orrefors glassworks closed in 2012 when Orrefors was part of the Swedish glassworks group Orrefors Kosta Boda AB. Still today, however, these objects are produced and exported around the world, thanks to the interest of a number of Scandinavian designers who have prolonged their genesis and appeal to new generations In 2013, the historic glassworks building became home to the "Per Ekström Museet," an art museum. The objects are in excellent condition. Measurements bowl diameter cm.19 height cm.12, plate diameter cm.24, height cm.3. This piece has an attribution mark,
