Description: Brilliant heavy crystal vase designed and made by Rune Strand at Hovmantorp glassworks circa 1960s. Strand made the same design later at Sea Glasbruk where he worked from 1978 until his death in 2000. The Sea version of this piece does not have the quality of the earlier Havmantorp version being also slightly smaller and weighing over 1 lb. less. This vase has thick heavy walls and weighs in at 6+ lbs. It stands 7 3/4" high and 7 1/4" wide. Fully signed "Hovmantorp Sweden R. Strand." Strand (1924-2000) belonged to a family of glassblowers and learned the art at an early age from his father. His family worked in both Sweden and Denmark, allowing the young artist to learn both glass making traditions. During the 1960s, he worked at Strombergshyttan. He also worked at Kosta for 10 years with Vicke Lindstrand. He was employed at Sea Glasbruk from 1978 to 2000. This vase really shines and sparkles when the light hits it. Top and bottom are ground. These original 1960s large size vases are tough to find. Mint condition. PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND BUY WITH CONFIDENCE. The photos are considered to be part of the description.
