It dates to the late 1960s or early 1970s.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStylistically, it is very close to the green one designed by Ronald Stennett-Wilson that I am currently listing. The green one has an abstract snowflake pattern on it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, this one appears to be Scandinavian in origin and it is an unusual and rarer dish designed by the Swedish glass artist, Erik Hoglund. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two bowls: the Wedgwood one and this Kosta Boda variant - show how much British and Scandinavian glass artists were borrowing from each other at this time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is the same shape as my green one but it has two little stylized \"stick\" people holding hands. It is a clear smoky grey colour. The inner part of the dish on the base has been raised. The little figures are raised when the dish is turned over, as photographed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoglund used this motif of two little people on different shapes of glass dishes for Kosta Boda.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: The diameter of the bowl is just over 5 3\/4 inches. The height is 1 1\/4 inches. The bowl weighs just over 1 kg in weight. It is in good vintage condition with no chips or cracks.  The bowl does have two little internal air bubbles at the side of the dish, I have photographed these for your inspection.  The bubbles were in the making.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40369621631040,"sku":"Sold for £65","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1960s-swedish-kosta-boda-grey-glass-bowl-by-erik-hoglund-scandinavian-376.webp?v=1792068845","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1960s-swedish-kosta-boda-grey-glass-bowl-by-erik-hoglund","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
