Kosta Boda Chateau Claret Glass

About the Designer
Bertil Vallien Sweden (1938 - )

Bertil Vallien was born in 1938 north of Stockholm. He trained in ceramics at the Technical School of Arts and has a master’s degree in industrial design. After he completed his studies, Bertil Vallien worked for some years in Los Angeles where his art attracted much attention. Bertil Vallien is a master of dimension. He worked as a glass designer for Kosta Boda from 1963 but was noted for several other genres. Examples of Bertil Vallien’s work can be seen at all of the large Swedish art museums.

The very name of this Kosta Boda classic evokes winegrowing estates and tranquil countryside. Wines and spirits just look, smell and taste better in the proper crystal: the elegance of the form, the feel of the piece in your hand, the bell-like ring of fine crystal, the bouquet concentrated by the bowl. Beginning a collection, adding to, or giving Château shows a discriminating taste for fine things.
