DescriptionDescription: This square glass jar stuck out in the glassworks’ selection of luxury goods. It was blown in a mould, giving it a robust appearance, and the cork stopper lent it an everyday feel. Signe Persson-Melin’s square series included bottles and jugs, and soon became a commercial success. In effect, it saved Boda glassworks, which at the end of the 1960s was struggling with faltering sales.
