Detail of bubbles in hand made glass vase. Designed by John Orwar Lake for Ekenas Glasbruk AB Sweden
Ekenas produced glass from 1917 until its closure in 1976 and J. O. Lake was its main designer from 1953 until 1976. Vases and bowls with shading colours of gree/blue and yellow/green/pale blue with internal bubble decoration were probably designed and produced in the 1960’s. This was photographed with diffused sunlight shining through to enhance the bubble structure.
