Lot #52: Scandinavian glass art

Mid-century Scandinavian glass art, specifically a frosted glass paperweight or sculpture by the renowned Swedish glassworks, Mats Jonasson Målerås. Key Details Subject: A detailed, frosted intaglio (reverse-carved) depiction of a tiger (or large wild cat) lounging. Style: The piece features a "rock-style" or organic edge, designed to mimic a block of natural ice or stone. This texture is a hallmark of Swedish glass design from the 1970s and 80s. Technique: The animal is sandblasted or etched into the back of the crystal, creating a 3D effect when viewed from the front. Signature: The second image shows the hand-etched signature on the base. It appears to read "Målerås Sweden" along with a model number, which confirms its origin from the Målerås glass studio. These pieces were often designed by Mats Jonasson himself and are highly collectible for their craftsmanship and the way they play with light. Pickup category timeslot {A}
