Description
Erik Hoglund cast glass bowl set of 10! Designed for Boda Glassworks (Sweden) 1953–1973. Hoglund is infamous for his embossed designs ranging from sublime to naughty to hilarious.
Five of this set feature a big Viking man holding a shield and looking threatening as he swings is huge ax. The other five depict his raiding ship. All ten items are in excellent condition.
Nine are in olive green and one is in forest green. Measure 2½” square. Hoglund used them in his lighting fixtures designs (see example in image 5). But they were also offered as little dishes with multiple uses. Sauce, salt or butter dishes, vanity catch-all, candle holders, party favors, caviar, paperweights, perfect ashtrays for those little smokes, etc.
