Another of my favourite pieces, beautiful colours. Quite a hefty piece, a well executed and lovely technique. Very clean.

Kraka Technique

The Kraka technique was developed by Sven Palmqvist in 1944, according to the Times of London's Ask the Expert: The Antiques Dealer. This technique is a variant of the Ariel technique that incorporates wire mesh as well as sandblasting. The wire mesh creates a fishnet pattern in which the trapped air bubbles appear in a geometric design between the glass layers.

   Nice vase. If you want to know more about the Kraka technique and how its signed I recommend you check out this link: http://www.glassfromsweden.com/orrefors-kraka-palmqvist.html
   
   They also have a page where you can date your piece based on the serial number:

   In general, I find it a good site with loads of information on how to identify and date swedish glass.
