Description: Small Strömbergshyttan Etched Sailboat Crystal Heavy VaseStromberg family owned Strombergshyttan until 1976, when it was sold to Orrefors4.5 inches tall, 2 7/8 Across at its widest pointHistory: Strömbergshyttan was founded in 1876, and was called the Lindfors glassworks until its changed its name in 1933. The name changed from Lindfors to Strömbergshyttan when Edward Stromberg, who was the former head from Orrefors, bought the company in 1933. Together with his son Eric, he devised a way to produce a glass that had a bluish-silver hue, which became characteristic for Strömbergshyttan. Gerda and Asta Stromberg designed most of the glass. The company remained in the Stromberg family until 1976, when it was sold to Orrefors. There had been a severe fire in 1973 which had left the glassworks in financial difficulties. Orrefors closed the Strömbergshyttan glassworks in 1979. Gunnar Nylund and Rune Strand were two designers that also worked for Strömbergshyttan. Most of the glass of Strömbergshyttan is signed with either Strömbergshyttan or Stromberg, as well as a production code. The name of the designer is never mentioned on the glass.
