This is a collectable set of six little vintage Swedish matching glasses. They are all very delicate in structure and designed for sipping and tasting little spirits or liqueurs. Probably for little tasters drinks that you would serve as aperitifs.
They were designed by the Swedish glass artist Gunnar Cyren (1931 - 2013). Cyren was hired at Orrefors glassworks in 1959, and became head of design ten years later. Over the years Gunnar Cyrén has participated in numerous exhibitions in Sweden and abroad and received the Swedish royal scholarship in 1962, the Lunning Prize in 1966 and the Prince Eugen Medal in 1988.
These glasses were first made at Orrefors in the 1960s but proved to be a popular design and were in production up until start of the 21st century.
They are hand-blown and have a simple criss-cross design on the bowls. There is a decorative faceted stem and plain base.
They are much sought after this is reflected in my asking price - they are certainly some of the finest of vintage Swedish glassware designs.
They measure just under 5 inches in height. The diameter of the rim is 1 7/8 inches and the diameter of the foot is also 1 7/8 inches. They are all in perfect condition with no damages.
The glasses have a certain delicacy to them - we will pack very carefully. Postage will be Royal Mail Tracked and applied to your order at the checkout.
