#Repost @52museums with @repostapp ・・・ Swedish glass achieved major success at the Paris Exhibition of 1925, including medals for the much-acclaimed engraved glass of Simon Gate and Edward Hald. This celestial globe was made for the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930, an event remembered by posterity as marking the breakthrough of functionalism in Sweden. There, engraved glass from Orrefors celebrated its last triumph. In the 1930s, fashions moved towards thicker, coloured glass with optical effects. @nationalmuseumswe #52museums #nationalmuseumswe #museum #winter #edwardhald #glass #orrefors
