405.00 $
Street Decanter from Orrefors holds 35 oz and is ideal for serving spirits. The decanter has a checked motif of straight lines inspired by the criss-cross streets and avenues of Manhattan, New York, with a square, black stopper providing contrast to the clear crystal. The stopper delivers an airtight seal that preserves the content of the decanter.
Jan Johansson (1942–2018) was a Swedish silversmith and glass designer who studied at one of Sweden’s most prestigious art and design universities.
Johansson began as a designer at AGA in Stockholm, Sweden, and came to Orrefors in 1969, where he designed bowls, vases, candlesticks, and sculptures. His work is associated with clean shapes and cut crystal that combines contemporary style with a sense of tradition.
Works by Jan Johansson can be seen at the Linköping Cathedral and Vadstena Abbey in Sweden. His work is also represented at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, the Corning Museum of Glass in the state of New York, and the Museum för Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg, Germany.
