ABOUT PRODUCTID 17137
This small intaglio glass sculpture of an owl was designed by Mats Jonasson and produced in the Maleras glassworks, Sweden, during the 1990s. Crafted from a single piece of clear, colorless crystal glass, the piece exemplifies late 20th-century Scandinavian modernism in both material and execution. The front features a matte, satin-frosted intaglio relief depicting the owl with meticulously carved feather details, setting up a gentle contrast between the softly etched form and the polished, glossy parts of the sculpture. The shape is circular, with precisely beveled and polished edges. The reverse side is fully smooth and clear, letting light filter through the glass and accentuating the three-dimensional quality of the relief. The sculpture is marked with an engraved signature and retains the original Maleras manufacturer sticker. Condition is excellent, with no visible damage, chips, or wear. This object speaks to the Scandinavian pursuit of clarity and tranquility that defined design in the 1990s. The owl—a timeless symbol of wisdom—emerges in stark, elegant contrast, its features brought to life by the interplay of light and shadow. The polished rim acts as a subtle frame, while light passing through the transparent glass throws the relief into delicate focus, as if the bird is suspended in the brisk air of the North. Its intimate scale and considered proportions suggest a piece intended for contemplation, evoking the serenity and restraint of personal collectibles. The sculpture would suit a minimalist shelf, where natural daylight highlights the contrast between matte intaglio and smooth glass. It could be placed alongside light-toned veneer, raw stone, or atop a lacquered tray to reinforce its modern qualities. Equally at
