BUYERS GUIDE


participated in the work teaching the painters how to re-create her vivid imaginings on to the surface of vases, plates, goblets and bowls.


As well as working with well-established techniques, she also developed two new techniques that provide the decoration of the glass with unimagined depth. In the Kabale technique (which is based on the patented Orrefors technique Graal) the core is made out of different layers of glass that together give a great depth to the decoration; a pattern is then sand blasted and painted with enamel paint; the core is burnt to fix the colour; and finally, another coat of glass is added. The result is a pattern with great depth where all the layers are visible. Another technique, Juvel, is very similar: in this technique parts of the glass are sand blasted; the parts that are covered stay the same colour as they were before and the glass is then glass treated with acid to make it smooth; lastly, the glass is painted and the colour is fixed by burning the colour.


For collectors, while having an international reputation, she is actually incredibly accessible,


although with her recent death that may well change. While her unique pieces have always drawn huge price tickets, her mass commercial work is readily available for well under £100. Grouped together her pieces


are unashamedly bold with bright colours and striking designs and in their own right are like 3D canvas.


Her work has been exhibited many times over the years and she is represented in many museums across the globe including the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. While few of us will ever have the opportunity to own an original painting or drawing, we can all access her fun, cheery work through the endless array of glassware produced over the years and while we won’t see any more new designs from this creative, colourful soul, her work lives on in the many thousands created during her lifetime!
