Description
Space Age Modernism Decor by the Infamous Bo Borgstrom
Stunning set of 1960s fine blown glassware martini set in chestnut brown. The set includes (1) decanter carafe, (1) amber glass stirrer, and (6) cocktail or juice glasses. Hand blown from Aseda Glassworks in Sweden. Designed by Bo Borgstrom, an icon of modern design, in the 1960s. Aseda catalog part #B11/54. Originally, if purchased as a set, a ‘teawood’ stirrer was included. The pitcher and tumblers were also available separately. This martini set has a amber glass stirrer. High quality glass, blown thin, with swirled pontil marks on bases.
The ever-pleasing chestnut brown color went well with the hippie generation’s naturalist decor tendencies. The color compliments most color schemes. The hand-made stirrer is in amber glass, a lighter brown tone leaning towards yellow. Exeptional design provides for a good grip on the carafe for pouring. The tumbler’s waisted form allows for a smooth, dripless drink. Stirrer ends in a fat teardrop to accelerate mixing. Fabulous set.
The decanter is 10″ tall, stirrer is 11.5″ long, and tumblers are approx. 3″ tall. Because they are hand blown, the height varies slightly.[color-box]More About Scandinavian Glass[/color-box]
