A unique piece manufactured in 1950 using the KRAKA technique developed by Sven Palmqvist in 1944. This technique involves covering the surface of overlaid glass with a fine mesh, blasting it with sand, and then reheating the vessel to shape it, thereby trapping bubbles within the glassware.
"KRAKA" is the name of a princess from Norse mythology. According to the legend, when she was tested for her wit by a Viking hero who requested her presence without wearing a garment but also not undressed, she appeared wearing a fishing net.
It is a mysterious and elegant piece with countless small bubbles trapped inside the glass, reminiscent of a beautiful princess glimpsed through a fishing net. The usual colours in the KRAKA series range from blue to yellow gradients, but this one is particularly rare as it is entirely yellow.
It captivated me at first sight, but due to its high price, I hesitated for about three years. However, I realized that I needed to trust my instincts and eventually acquired it. I decided to put this piece up for the auction with the hope that many people would have the opportunity to see it.
