This footed piece is of the highest quality lead crystal which produces sparkling and ultra transparent clear crystal.
As a child, I can remember this magnificent bowel sitting on my fathers desk in his office in San Francisco. We would be allowed to visit my father and grandfather at their offices for lunch once a month. After lunch, I was able sit on my fathers huge office chair, and this bowl was the only thing on his desk, except for his desk set. I remember looking through this beautiful bowl across to other skyscrapers through the glass walls of his office. It was a gift from his father to him, and now was on my desk. I am retired now and want to sell this personal family treasure. I hope it is treasured by another family as it was mine. There are a couple of knicks on the base from use.
Ohrstrom was born in Burlov, Sweden in 1906. From 1925 - 1930 he studied and graduated from many Academys and Colleges in Germany, Paris and Sweden.
1936 - 57, he worked as a designer for Orrefors where he developed a new technique with figures and forms in the shape of air-bubbles - the so-called 'Arielglass'.
Study trips included; France, Italy, Germany, England, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Russia, Japan, China, Hongkong, Bangkok, Manila, Ceylon, Mexico, USA.
Numerous public sculptures, in the beginning in granite, concrete or bronze, since 1961 mostly in glass/metal. He has various works of art in several museums in Sweden and all over the world. Exhibitions in the Scandinavian countries, in Paris, Milan, Antwerp, Rome, New York, Moscow, Tokyo, Mexico City.
Edvin Öhrström was working for the railways when he decided one day to leave his job and take up sculpture. One of the first lessons he probably learnt, was the difficulty of keeping a family on the earnings of his new profession. In 1936, he accepted regular employment, working for two months every year as a designer with the Orrefors glass factory; here in the words of the Art Lexicon, he created "in ariel glass a personal version of graal glass,” as well as contributing to “a renewal in engraved glass.” In company with such artists as S. Gate, E. Hald, S. Palmquist and others, Öhrström has been instrumental in giving modern Swedish glass its special qualities as well as its world-wide reputation.
Yet the former railway worker refused to be side-tracked; he never forgot that his aim was to become a sculptor. After many years of sculpting in different mediums, his sculptures were found in museums of his native land where, as time went on, he was entrusted with a great number of important commissions. Of these the greatest was the monument set up in front of the Halmstad Town Hall in 1952 to commemorate the meeting of three monarchs.
