Ingergerd Raman (b 1943) is one of foremost glass and ceramic artists in Sweden. She is famed for her minimalistic designs with pared down shapes made of clear glass.. She has been been presented with the Excellent Swedish Design award (Utmärkt Svenskt Form) on a number of occasions. Her work is displayed at Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg.
This is a set of her Parlan shot or schnapps glasses made in 2009 for Orrefors. Parlan means "pearl" in Swedish.
This set of four glasses comes in its original Orrefors retial box, as photographed. Each glass measures 4 1/4 inches (10.5 cm in height). The rim diameter is 2 inches (5 cm). The foot is 2 1/2 inches diameter (6. 5 cm). There is an etched mark on the centre of the foot which reads Orrefors Sweden with the bear logo. There are also the original Orrefors stickers on the top of the foot.
Each glass holds 20 ml of liquid - and look to traditional Swedish schnapps designs. They are in very good "as new" condition and the box is in good vintage condition. There is a little leaflet in Swedish inside the box showing some of its recent glass designs available for purchase in 2009.
The glasses will be carefully padded inside the retail box - and then carefully wrapped and into a larger outer box. This will be sent with Royal Mail Tracked postage. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
