Mats Jonasson Målerås Viking glass sculpture

This clear crystal sculpture depicts a traditional Viking figure, characterized by stylized Nordic features and a textured glass finish. It is a signature piece from the Målerås Glasbruk, designed by the renowned glass artist Mats Jonasson. The piece is crafted using a specialized sand-casting technique that allows for intricate details and a three-dimensional effect when light passes through the crystal.

Målerås Glasbruk was established in 1890 in the 'Kingdom of Crystal' region of Sweden. While it has faced various ownership changes throughout the 20th century, Mats Jonasson remains the driving creative force and a primary owner. The item features the iconic Swedish flag sticker, serving as a guarantee of authentic Swedish craftsmanship and material quality, reflecting over a century of artisanal glassmaking heritage.
