A reference for Swedish glass research
Factory catalogues provide a starting point for comparing glass objects with documented production ranges. This volume focuses on five Swedish manufacturers across the period 1915–1960, making it relevant to research into twentieth-century glass design.
Catalogue comparisons should be considered alongside other evidence. A similar illustration alone does not establish an object’s maker, production date or designer.
