a unique engraved glass bowl, reportedly a special commission ca 1972, Kosta, Sweden engraved by Tage Cronqvist.
Oval bowl with deep engraved decoration of galloping horses, signed Kosta Lindstrand / T.C. and label marked, 27.5 x 22.5 cm, height 18 cm.
Purchased from AB SKF (originally AB Svenska Kullagerfabriken) in 1973 by the current owner's father.
Reportedly, this bowl was originally ordered by AB SKF to be used as a prize at a horse race in England, but the then manager of the Luton factory in England considered the bowl "artistically worthless" and refused to hand it over. A new "trophy" was quickly ordered, executed in a traditional manner, designed by Jan Johansson, while this bowl ended up in SKF's storage. It was then sold to the current owner's father.
