Origin of Kosta Boda

Kosta Boda has its roots deep in the history of glass art. The story begins in 1742, when the Kosta glass factory was founded in the Swedish village of Kosta. This was the very first glass company in Sweden and marked the beginning of a glass-making tradition that has continued throughout the centuries. In 1742, Anders Koskull, a Swedish nobleman, joined forces with George Bogislaus Staël von Holstein, a Swiss businessman and pioneer in the glass industry, to establish the Kosta glass factory. This factory soon became known for its high-quality glassware and remained a major player in the world of glass art.

Kosta Boda vase

Kosta Boda vases and bowls are still crafted and designed by world-renowned glass artists. The Swedish glass blowers work only with pure crystal for this purpose. Thanks to the centuries-old glass tradition, Kosta Boda is able to create the most beautiful vases and bowls together with the master glassblowers. The vases and bowls of Kosta Boda are especially recognizable by the presence of beautiful colors and natural shapes. All Kosta Boda vases also feature engraving. Take a look at the blue vase from Kosta Boda's Contrast series, made of crystal glass. The Blue/amber vase from the Mirage series by Kosta Boda is also a gem among vases. Other examples include the Kosta Boda Open Minds, Kosta Boda Summer Breeze or the Kosta Boda Craquele vase.
