You know about Ulrica HYDMAN-VALLIEN?
I think this is part of the Kaboka range.
She is married to another designer Bertil Vallien.
She visited Australia in 1996 and this range came from experiences here.
I have a very large plate that I will post.
She and her husband are the anchors at Kosta Boda at the moment.
There a Swedish language video here of her:

Hi, It's from the Caramba range, not Kaboka. Made at Åfors glassworks (were Ulrica and Bertil lives) that closed now in sept 2012. Forwards they will be produced in Kosta, the last remaining glasswork in Orrefors-Kosta/Boda concern.
In the 1963 (or 64, don't remeber exactly) Bertil Vallien, Erik Hoglund and another person from Boda, landed on the ice of lake Hyllsjön with a hot air balloon, where I skated on a plowed track (inspired by the Swedish world- and Olympic champion Johnny Nilsson 1963-64). I helped them to find the nearest road, and there I was rewarded with a braided strap, which I was decorated with in a small ceremony that they arranged. The strap is still in a box at home. A fun history that I do not forget.
thankyou very much rebessin for the information and the update:)
Thankyou nldionne for the love:)
