Kosta Boda Glass Gunnel Sahlin Artist Colllection Melon Frutteria Signed Fruit

Presenting an exquisite hand blown art glass melon designed by Gunnel Sahlin for the quality Scandinavian glass makers, Kosta Boda. This piece is from the Frutteria series produced between 1989 and 1993 as a part of the exclusive, limited edition artist collection. This sleek hollow-formed piece perfectly displays the unique frit surface treatment for which Sahlin is renowned. Frits of radiant yellow were added to the original gather and worked into the surface of the sleekly curved form as it was blown into shape.

The frits of glass meld with the gather, perfectly following the contours of the glass to create a unique and individual surface treatment. The fruit is completed with an applied green stem, its smooth finish beautifully contrasting the mosaic of textured yellow to the body. STUNNING EXAMPLE OF QUALITY KOSTA BODA ART GLASS. The frits create an appealing speckled surface with a random cellular structure adding a delightful subtle texture to the form.
