Bold and solid, yet graceful, with swirling torrents of color - Anna Ehrner's trademarks - and contrasting, sassy calligraphic lines, which in turn contrast with the clear purity of the crystal. In the Contrast series of bowls and dishes, the pure forms are crystal arenas for the drama of free-flowing patterns that bring out the inner nature of the glass and make every bowl unique. Essential contemporary Kosta Boda.

A true work of art, the Contrast dish marries abstraction and down-to-earth solidity. Each handmade crystal bowl encloses smoky wisps of either black, white, cobalt blue, or lime green. Seemingly draped across the surfaces are thin strings of complementary colored glass for contrast, lending a playful air. Significantly sized at 15” inches in diameter, the shallow bowl or cebterpiece looks superb displayed on a table, in a hutch, or on a sideboard filled with fresh fruit. Matching bowls are also available. Because the color is hand-applied at the Kosta Boda glassworks in Sweden, no two pieces are exactly the same.

Contrast is a creation of Swedish artist Anna Ehrner, known for her strong, pure forms infused with swirls or lines of color. Ehrner has been designing for Kosta Boda since 1974, experimenting with everything from jewelry to stemware. Each glass piece arrives in a Kosta Boda box, signifying the highest artistry in both design and implementation. Washing the lead-free crystal by hand is recommended. --
