Scandinavian Glass Dish, probably Kosta Boda, 1970s

A Scandinavian glass dish of slightly irregular form decorated with sprays of fern and a pseudo Chinese seal mark. The form and technique and style of decoration of this piece resemble closely very similar dishes made in various designs by the well known Swedish firm Kosta Boda. None of these are marked but the designs are distinctive and this is most likely what we have here. These dishes seem to have been table ware and were made in a range of sizes; the dimensions here imply a serving dish. The decoration is formed by the hand pressing of the glass into a mould. The topside is smooth while the underside is modelled with the design. There is a well known series of Kosta dishes comprising a hand made set in the 'Party' pattern and designed by Ann & Goran Warff in 1975. The similarities here imply a similar dating.

Kosta Boda, previously known as Kosta Glasbruk, is a Swedish glassmaking company founded by two foreign officers in Charles XII's army, Anders Koskull and Georg Bogislaus Staël von Holstein, in 1742.It is located in Kosta, Sweden. Early production consisted of window glass, chandeliers and drinking glasses. From the 1840s, the factory was at the forefront of new trends and technical developments, producing pressed glass, and in the 1880s setting up a new glass-cutting workshop. In 1903, the company merged with the Reijmyre glassworks but both retained their own names and Kosta went on to maintain its reputation as one of the leading Swedish manufacturers with a range of fine art glass and tableware by distinguished designers such as Vicke Lindstrand, artistic director from 1950-1973.
