Yesterday I went to Växjö and Sveriges glasmuséum to se Carola Ericsson's fantastic collection of glass from Åseda glassworks.

Nearly everything was designed by Bo Borgström. I saw there that my three sizes of bambu vases was not the only, there is one bigger to, about 30 cm or so. I saw also that my liquer decanter and shott glasses not only were made with colored underlayer, but in clear crystal. Sadly I miss the stopper, but it had a clean and straight form, quite easy to make. I had to ask the glassworks in Skruf if they can make a similar stopper to me.
At the same time we visited the exhibition showing Edward Hald and Simon Gate. It was an absolutley firts class exihibition, weell worth to se. Actually the best I ever seen from the too, far better than you can se att the muséum in Orrefors.

I'm so glad as it finally proves it actualy is an Aseda/Borgström item :) Thanks for posting!
Amazing! Wish I could go and see this!!!!!!
Thanks everybody, and a excuse me for the late answer! I'm glad that some unsolved problems could be solved by the models shown in my pics. Unfortunately the battery of the camera ended after these three pictures, but I'll try to visit the exhibition again before it closes and photograph the rest. I will return with more pictures then.
