DescriptionDescription: The Basic line was intended to work for a variety of beverages and thus reduce the variety of glasses in kitchen cabinets. It is made from fairly thick glass, which makes it dishwasher safe. Maragerta Hennix has designed glass and ceramics for several well-known Swedish manufacturers including Gustavsbergs Porslinsfabrik and Johansfors, Pukeberg and Reijmyre glassworks. In 2018, Nationalmuseum received a major donation of glass and ceramics from Margareta Hennix. She has designed glass and ceramics for several well-known Swedish art industries, such as Gustavsbergs Porslinsfabrik, Johansfors, Pukebergs and Reijmyre glasbruk, since completing her training at the University of Arts, Crafts and Design in 1963. Her Basic glass service was intended to work for many different drinks and thus reduce the number of glasses in the kitchen cupboards. It is made from relatively thick glass, so is suitable for dishwashers.
