DescriptionDescription: The heavy bowl bears the inscription ’For zealous and devoted service to the Realm’, with Sweden’s small coat of arms above. It comes with a mahogany-veneer case lined with blue velvet. A text on the inside of the lid tells us that Orrefors glassworks are known all over the world and that the bowl has been cut from pure crystal. There is thus no doubt that this was a luxurious gift to someone who had given many years of service to the state.
