Stromberg 1960s engraved and cut glass vase

http://www.modernistglass.com/glasspieces/view/2765
Stromberg pieces generally have the company name and model number engraved on the base. Those which are signed with the name of the designer tend to be special pieces. This one bears two names. One is that of Rune Strand, who was a leading engraver of the period (he also worked for Kosta during Vicke Lindstrand's time there). He also designed for Stromberg in the 60s, and we assume this was his design. The other name is L Swahn, who we don't know. He either did the engraving, or the cutting, or both. Note the subtle cutting on the sides (best seen in the last photo).

The centre of this piece displays the 'chipped' cutting that we've seen on another Stromberg piece - Asta Stromberg and Rune Strand Strombergshyttan cut and engraved 3kg bowl - while the flower pattern is the usual style of engraving.

For examples of Rune Strand's work at Kosta, see Large signed 'In the Harbour' 1950s Vicke LINDSTRAND engraved vase or (probably) Engraved signed and labelled 1960s Vicke Lindstrand Kosta heron.
