Kosta Boda Fidji Collection Description: Kosta Boda Glassware Made in Sweden Designed by Kjell Engman Warm-colored bottles with rounded stomachs and long, proud necks. Great skills are needed of the craftsmen to create the unique color combinations and softly rounded forms of these fascinating bottles. The inspiration for this series originated in the designer's love of music, the long necks of the bottles reminiscent of organ pipes. The colors were inspired by shimmering rainbows of oil spilled on water. The name came from a beautiful transparent watercolor painting of a scene from the Fidji Islands! "In creating a design I start with the circle of life. I like to make glass you can feel, glass that appeals to all of our senses, and tries to make use of refraction and light. I want to paint pictures and tell stories at the same time. What drives me, I suppose, is a sort of inner search in which curiosity, the mysterious and the mythological are all-important ingredients. Glass, the living solid, is my constant companion." When we say a piece of Kosta Boda is handmade, we mean it literally. Glassmaking at Kosta Boda is both wonderfully old-fashioned and perpetually a new world-each design a collaborative work of art between our designer artists and our glassmaker artists. The first hires at the new glassworks of Kosta in 1742 were skilled glassblowers, for it was their talents and experience that made all the difference in the end products. This is just as true today, where artisans and designers work side by side in the glassworks, cutting room, painting shop and engraving studio.   7048838 - Vase/Bottle, 11.25 inches Price: $199.99 Quantity:   7048839 - Vase/Bottle, 14.25 inches Price: $224.99 Quantity:   7048840 - Vase/Bottle, 17.75 inches Price: $274.99 Quantity:
