    Here are some of my favorites from Orrefors, Kosta, Skruf, Ekenäs, and Kjellander. Most of these pieces have been purchased in the last year, but a few have been in the family for a long time. All of my ancestry is Swedish, so these etchings are a part of our cultural history. Each one is a unique work of art!

    I am working on restoring three other vases. When they are done, the bottom row, center section will contain etched glass, too. I also have a collection of small pieces, not currently on display. To give you some perspective, the two Vicke Lindstrand Ship Vases in the middle row are each about 12" tall.

      Thanks, Sean! When I get the time, I'll photograph each one on its own. It's so hard to see detail in this picture. I feel blessed to have these - I enjoy them every day. Some day, my grandchildren will, too!

      Great collection.
      I'm sure many of us would like to see them up close and personal.
