Orrefors "Lancelot" Crystal Bowl

$145.00

I’ll be frank, with so much glass available, a piece has to be very special to make it into Again by Clare. Lucky for you, this one ticked all the boxes. Its sculptural lines capture and reflect the light in the most delightful ways, whilst its heavy crystal composition gives it a strong, confident presence. It is good design personified.

I believe this bowl to be an Orrefors, the renowned Swedish glass manufacturer known for exceptional crystal and glassware, design as only the Swedes can do. The form relates closely to the work of designer Erika Lagerbielke, who collaborated with Orrefors between 1982–2009. While this particular piece is unsigned, its quality, style and clarity are unmistakably Orrefors. A true statement piece.

    This bowl is crystal, giving it beautiful clarity, brightness, satisfying weight and that unmistakable clear ring when tapped, it sings.

  • The condition of this bowl is good for its age and use.

    Inside the bowl is a small chip (approx. 1mm x 3mm) and slightly down from the rim a tiny 1mm chip. There is also a small chip on the outside, just below the rim, and some light surface scratches on the base, as expected with vintage crystal.

    These small flaws do not detract from its overall beauty but please reach out if you would like additional photos.

  • This is one of those pieces where the question is really, where wouldn’t you use it? Its stunning light reflections and sculptural design make it a natural art glass statement piece. With good lighting and open space it will effortlessly draw attention.

    At the same time, its weight and durability make it wonderfully practical for everyday use. Because it isn’t perfect, it has a little more freedom and I can easily see it as a fruit bowl or a striking centrepiece on a busy family table.
