With Kosta Label and Signed SH 5358","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn offer are these delightful pair of little miniature Kosta bowls. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are both signed - with the original Kosta Sticker - and also an etched signature Kosta \/ SH 5358.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SH on this signature was used by the renowned Swedish glass maestro, Mona Morales Schildt (1908 - 1999).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eShe studied at the Higher Art and Crafts School in Stockholm. In 1936 she attended an advertising and painting school in Paris and at the same time worked for Gustavsberg where she was an assistant to Wilhelm Kage. He also worked for a while at the Arabia Pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 1950 she visited the Venetian glass artist, Paolo Venini with plans to arrange an exhibition of this work at the department store Nordiska Kompaniet. From 1958 to 1971 she worked for Kosta Glassworks – she was only the second woman to have worked at the firm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHer work is in my important collections and museums including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, as well as the American Swedish Institute of Art in Minnesota, and at the Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the sweetest miniature pieces. The central section of the wee bowl is a ruby-chocolate colour and it has been cased in clear glass. It has a little foot on the base all as photographed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne measures: 5 cm in height and has a diameter of 6 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other is 4.8 cm in height and has a diameter of 6.5 cm. As they are hand-blown by the artist - there are slight differences in them. This second on has a smaller (and slightly pointed bottom) internal chocolate bowl section and the clear glass casing is much thicker. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey would make lovely additions to your collection of special Swedish Art Glass. Mona Morales Schildt's work is much sought after - and this is reflected in my asking piece for the pair, as photographed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are both in excellent vintage condition with no damages. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostage will be with Royal Mail Tracked (Small Parcel). This will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54888112357755,"sku":"Red Cabinet Drawer 4","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1960s-mona-morales-schildt-kosta-miniature-swedish-glass-bowl-with-label-and-signed-sh-5358-scandinavian-707.webp?v=1783783566","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1960s-mona-morales-schildt-kosta-miniature-swedish-glass-bowl-kosta-label","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
