Early Höglund Art Glass Vase - 1985

I am thoroughly hooked on art glass so I was delighted to find this lovely early vase by Ola Höglund and Marie Simberg-Höglund. The talented Swedish duo arrived in New Zealand in 1982 and this vase dates to 1985 so it is a very early piece from their new homeland. I love the colour and the bold red swirl around the body of the vase. If you'd like to see a video, this vase was featured on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

The couple were both born in Sweden, where the name Höglund was already associated with top quality modernist art glass through the work of Ola's father Erik Höglund. Ola and Marie travelled and worked internationally before settling in New Zealand. Their work is internationally renowned and sought after by both public and private collectors worldwide. They have exhibited in more than 40 international exhibitions in New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, the US, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Dubai, Indonesia, Taipei and Japan. In 2000 they were invited to produce the art glass for the America's Cup campaign and the Sydney Olympics.
