KostaBoda crystal bud vase. Elegant, yet contemporary, this “Sails” design was created by Goran Warff (1933-2022), a world-renowned glassworks designer, born and raised on the Baltic Island of Gotland and employed at KostaBoda from 1964-1974. He served in the Swedish Navy and loved sailing on the Baltic Sea, probably inspiring this design. The vase stands 8.5” tall and weighs over 3 lbs 11 oz. Etched on the bottom of the vase is “Kosta Boda, 48923, G. Warff.” The piece is in excellent condition with no signed of wear, scratches, chips or cracks.
Craftsmanship
Following the journey of glass from a syrupy, molten state to glittering crystal is a spectacular sight that takes place in the KostaBoda hot shops every day.
Designers, glassblowers, cutters, painters and engravers play their part in this skilled work every day, and each glass from KostaBoda is a unique and sophisticated piece of craftsmanship. By the time the finished glass leaves the glassworks, no fewer than 15 different people have contributed to the production process.
Since 1898, art and crystal glass for everyday use has been produced under the brand of Orrefors. At our glassworks in Kosta, our skilled glassworkers are joined by several of Sweden’s most prestigious designers in developing the design, craftsmanship and new techniques. A smaller part of our production has been produced at other renowned glassworks, mainly in Europe, since 2004. A few products are produced in Asia. At all glassworks, we use the same designers and in many cases the production techniques developed by ourselves in Småland, Sweden.
Design Heritage
Early on, KostaBoda' committed to "...develop the expressive power of glass, both artistically and technically," while ensuring that, "Swedish glass will always be elegant, exciting, and of superb quality in both craft and design."
Along with other now - famous Småland glassmakers, KostaBoda quite literally reinvented the art and craft of Swedish glass in the early part of the 20th century. Moreover, KostaBoda played a key role in the emergence of a distinctive Scandinavian idiom and quality standards whose goal is design excellence in everything from toys to tableware.
The equation behind this artistic and market success was the collaboration of designer and glassmaker, and that remains true to the present. At Kosta Boda, artist and artisan work side by side, experimenting with recipes, forms, colors and textures - as well as techniques old and new - to produce works of originality and timeless elegance.
