GLIMMA VASE

Glimma Glasbruk, nestled in the Swedish countryside, was an important glassworks that developed its art from 1918 to 1969. Its origins lie in the restructuring of the Färe and Elme glass factories.

In 1938, the glassworks went through a tough test when a devastating fire destroyed offices, warehouses and workshops. Yet despite this challenge, production flourished during and after World War II. The high demand for the Glimma glass canning containers, especially in times of war, contributed to this.

Although Glimma Glasbruk closed its doors in 1969, its legacy lives on in the form of surviving molds, samples and photographs. Parts of this history are on display at the Glimma Glass Museum in Glimåkra to preserve the artistic legacy of this once important glassworks.
