$70.00Tall Swedish crystal Svensk beverage pitcher designed by Bo Borgstrom.
Designed by the renowned Nordic designer Bo Borgstrom for Aseda Glasbruk Sweden in the 1960’s. Distinguished by its faceted solid glass base and sleek form in pure high quality Swedish crystal.
Bo Borgstrom was born in 1929. Borgstrom began work with Aseda, a Swedish glass factory, in the 1950’s. Aseda later merged with Gullaskruf, Malera, Bjorkshutl and Skruf. The factory closed its doors in 1977.
This beautiful classy pitcher does not have its original label. We have seen this form before with the label which read: ‘Svensk Form Bo Borgstrom Aseda Sweden’. ‘Svensk form’ refers to Swedish style.
Tall, slim and heavy. High quality minimalist style and user friendly. Designed well for its job at the table or bar. Weighted, stylized base ensures stability. Slim upper body allows for a firm grip. Tapered shape provides smooth pours. Glass has great clarity and is shining clean. There are three trapped air bubbles; one very tiny on the side wall, and two in the solid glass base (trapped air bubbles are often inherent in hand-made glass items and are not considered damage). It is in excellent condition.
Made from a molded base, hand-blown out for height, hand-tooled lip, and heat finished rims. The glass recipe contains ‘magnesium’, a mineral used to replace lead during both World Wars. Magnesium continued to be used by some glass makers until the 1960’s.
Full size pitcher measures 10.75″ tall. Holds 28 ounces. Weighs just under 2½ lbs. Large and heavy.
