The Orrefors Dusk Series, designed by Nils Landberg in the 1950s and 1960s, refers to a renowned collection of Swedish modernist art glass characterized by its distinctive "sommerso" (submerged) technique, featuring a dark smoke, charcoal gray, or dusky green interior core encapsulated within a thick layer of clear, colorless crystal.
Color Palette: The series is defined by its deep, moody tones—often dark gray, charcoal, or olive—meant to evoke the colors of twilight or "dusk". [1, 2]Technique: It uses the sommerso technique, where a colored interior layer is submerged in a second, usually clear, layer of molten glass, creating dramatic depth and optical effects. [1]Design Aesthetic: Created during the Mid-Century Modern era, these pieces are marked by their heavy weight, sculptural forms, and minimalist elegance. They often have an elliptical, triangular, or ovoid shape with thick walls. [1, 2]Signature & Era: The vases are frequently signed "Orrefors" along with "N" for Nils Landberg and specific production numbers
