Orrefors Palmqvist Engraved Glass Vase with Nils Holgersson Riding a Goose 1960s Sweden
$139.00
This Swedish engraved glass vase was designed by Sven Palmqvist at Orrefors in the early 1960s. It is a lovely size, measuring 6 inches tall and weighing 1.5 pounds. The base reads, "Orrefors. P. 3915.111 D1 " That "P" would designate Palmqvist as designer. The vase was made in 1962 (code D1). There is only the smallest evidence of use - no chips or scratches.
The pleasing ovoid form is decorated with the much-loved title character from The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, a work of fiction by the Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf. The story was originally published in 1906 and 1907, and was first published in English as The Wonderful Adventures of Nils in 1907 and Further Adventures of Nils in 1911. As an interesting side-note, I've included a photo of the detail of a 1935 painting of the title character, by Sven Erixson.
