Fish Graal Vase by Edward Hald for Orrefors
Sweden. 1953. Signed ORREFORS Sweden Grall Nr. 2651 D Edward Hald. This vase was made in 1953. No cracks or imperfections. Some scratches on bottom, which is indicative of age. Hald worked for Orrefors from 1917 until 1978, when he retired at age 95. He was a highly important force at Orrefors. Hald originally deveiloped fish graal in 1937, a form in which the colored fish are applied to a heavy glass blank, then encased in another thick layer of clear glass. The result is that the fish and seaweed appear to be floating in the water as the images reflect against the clear glass. The fish on the back of the vase are visible from the front, which results in the illusion of depth. This is a large and fairly early example of the highly collected fish graal.
