Tobago Large Brown Bottle

7080228 The iridescent coloring of the Tobago vases and bowl came about when the designer observed the shimmering rainbows of color made by oil spilled on water.

Trained as a painter, ceramicist, and glass artist, Kjell joined us in 1978, after art school in Goteburg and the National College of Arts and Crafts in Stockholm. In 1981, he took a sabbatical to study at the Pilchuck Art Center in Washington state. Kjell is a tirelessly productive artist with a free-ranging imagination and a passion for storytelling, whose creativity finds expression in utilitarian as well as art glass.
