Simple but very stylish and chic, this rare modernist Strombergshyttan, Sweden heavy glass bowl is part of the "Blue Ice" collection. Truly a wonderful addition for any collector of Scandinavian modern glassworks. The small, thick and aqua-tinted piece is attributed to the artist Asta Strömberg, a creation from her own studio at Strömbergshyttan in Sweden. The shape of the piece appears to reveal an apple or other fruit in abstract form, and an example of early modernism in the pre-mid-century modern era. Due to the tint of the glass it catches the light in an almost neon/futuristic way that makes one recall the film TRON. It's perfect on a foyer or coffee table for mints or candy, but simply having it on display for it's beauty would be just as perfect!.
Strombergshyttan was founded in 1876, and was called the Lindfors glassworks until its changed its name in 1933. The name changed from Lindfors to Strombergshyttan when Edward Stromberg, who was the former head from Orrefors, bought the company in 1933. Together with his son Eric, he devised a way to produce a glass that had a bluish-silver hue, which became characteristic for Strombergshyttan. Gerda and Asta Stromberg designed most of the glass. The company remained in the Stromberg family until 1976, when it was sold to Orrefors. There had been a severe fire in 1973 which had left the glassworks in financial difficulties. Orrefors closed the Strombergshyttan glassworks in 1979. Gunnar Nylund and Rune Strand were two designers that also worked for Strombergshyttan. Most of the glass of Strombergshyttan is signed with either Strombergshyttan or Stromberg, as well as a production code.
