This is a rare Ravenna glass bowl designed by Sven Palmqvist (1906-1984) for Orrefors of Sweden in 1948. The design was inspired by the mosaics in the city of Ravenna.
The bowl is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows the age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with age and use.
The bowl is in the blue colourway, the squares being picked out in aventurine. The bowl is 8 cm (3.2 inches) in height and measures 14.8 cm (5.9 inches) in diameter at the bowl rim. It weighs 1.05 kg. (~ 2 lb. 5 oz.). There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. The legend “Orrefors Ravenna nr 4258 Sven Palmqvist” is inscribed on the base.
