Orrefors Crystal Corona Occasional Bowl with Engraved Signature

Orrefors Crystal Corona Bowl Lars Hellsten 1978

Luscious Swedish Orrefors crystal Corona occasional bowl with engraved signature on base and original sticker still attached.

Design by Lars Hellsten for Orrefors Glassworks in 1978. According to Orrefors sales literature, “Corona was inspired by the light surrounding the moon, as Hellsten, one of Scandinavia’s finest glass designers, cites nature as his leading design source. Made of purest crystal in the centrifugal technique, which challenges the skills of both artist and glassmaker“.

Orrefors was founded in 1898, began producing home glassware in the early 1900s, and is still producing beautiful crystal glass today. For glass to be called “crystal” it must have a lead content. All crystal is glass, but not all glass is crystal. The finest quality glass contains lead.

Orrefors products are admired for extreme clarity, colorful refractions, and superior design. Notice the colors bouncing off the crystal in the images. The color came from objects nearby.

This Orrefors Crystal Corona Bowl retains its original sticker, in addition the base is etched with Lars Hellsten signature. Weighs just under 2 lbs. Measures 4.5 inch round, 3.75 inches tall. Has 4 round white pads on the base to protect it from scratching surfaces and vice versa. In perfect brilliantly shining condition.
