Flygsfors was a renowned Swedish glassworks founded in 1888 and active through the mid-20th century, celebrated for its elegant art glass and innovative postwar design. In the 1950s and 1960s, the company gained international acclaim under designer Paul Kedelv, whose Coquille line became an icon of Scandinavian modernism. Flygsfors pieces are characterized by their organic forms, layered glass (cased or “graal” technique), and harmonious color transitions that capture light beautifully. The brand remains highly collectible, representing the peak of Swedish mid-century glass artistry.

About This Piece
This hand-blown Flygsfors “Coquille” bowl, dated 1956, showcases the elegant curvature and dual-tone glasswork that define Kedelv’s signature style. The inner layer of deep teal floats within crystal-clear glass, creating an illusion of fluid motion and depth. The smooth, wing-like form evokes seashells or open petals—an homage to natural Scandinavian minimalism. Signed “Flygsfors -56 Coquille,” it is a fine example of mid-century Swedish design and a highly desirable decorative collectible. See less
