Designer: Gerda Stromberg for Strombergshyttan 1930s.
I look in the Stromberg catalog for year 1977. Orrefors is the new owner, but Gerda Strombergs design from 1930s are still going strong! These products from 1930s (except for the cream jug) are still in production 1977. One can only admire her successful design work for Strombergshyttan. It is absolutely amazing.
You should also know that after they closed the factory in Strombergshyttan 1979, Orrefors continued to produce 115 of the Stromberg models, but now in the unit in Orrefors. Some of these models had been designed by Gerda Stromberg already in the 1930's and 40's. Now they were presented as news in Orrefors catalog. Gerda Stromberg was a visionary and skilled designer who meant a lot to the reputation for Strombergshyttan.
She was so amazingly modern!!! you're absolutely right about her being a visionary :)
PS: I want them all! :( LOL
