Clear glass bird suncatcher, a lovely suncatcher from the Window Ornament series designed by Bertil Vallien at Kosta Boda in Sweden. This is one of the treasures produced by KOSTA BODA in the mid-century, 1970s Scandinavian vintage. The clear glass's transparency and unique form are very attractive. This is a large window ornament, and when it catches the light as a suncatcher, it shows an indescribably beautiful expression, making the window area fun and colorful, and allowing you to immerse yourself in a non-everyday world. The bird is a dove, and the dove symbolizes peace, so hanging it not only looks beautiful but also conveys a message of peace. The back is flat, and the front is rounded. Bertil Vallien (1938-), residing in Sweden, is a Swedish glass artist who has won numerous awards. At Kosta Boda, he launched the "Artist Collection" concept and created artistic glass works that were distinct from industrial products. His works are exhibited in museums around the world, and his art glass works are loved as collector's items worldwide as vintage glass. KOSTA BODA was founded in 1742 as "Kosta" in southern Sweden as a glass factory. It has the oldest history among the existing European glass factories. Later, it merged with Boda (established in 1864) and changed its name to "Kosta Boda" in 1871. Artists representing Scandinavian glass, such as Erik Höglund and Bertil Vallien, have created numerous works. This was obtained in Sweden a long time ago. Due to circumstances, it was hardly displayed, and it is in very good vintage condition with no scratches or chips.
