Ann & Göran Wärff - Kosta Boda - A set of Glass Plates and a Butter Dish. 1970s
Art glass 6 salad or cake plates, 3 medium plates, 1 large plate and a butter dish. Party Line series by Ann and Göran Wärff. One of the best art glass manufactories, Swedish KOSTA BODA.
The plates are handcrafted in high Scandinavian quality, which makes them all different in terms of both form and dimensions. One of the plates has raised rims in the form of handles. The interior is smooth, and the exterior is rugged and decorated with the texture of leaves.
Thick, massive, pressed glass, irregular rim.
The signature has been preserved on the largest plate - a bit worn.
About the Designer
Ann Wärff was a founding figure in international "Studio Glass". During a career that to date spans forty years, she has worked as an engraver, a vessel maker, a sculptor, a stained glass artist, a water-colourist and a designer for industry. After studies at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, she married Swedish glass artist Göran Wärff and worked with him as a designer at Pukebergs Glasbruk 1960-1964, and then at Kosta Boda 1964-1970. Ten years of discipline as a designer in the glass industry gave her practical and organisational skills that most of her colleagues in the glass world, particularly those outside Scandinavia, do not have. An account of her decision to use sandblasting and etching techniques on glass underscores her technical adaptability.
