DescriptionDescription: Many Swedes know Ulrica Hydman-Vallien for her glass pieces with painted tulips and slithering snakes, but her artistic activity also included ceramics as well as painting. This bowl was one of her first works of glass. Right from the outset she was trying to renew the conservative glass industry by introducing motifs that weren’t just decorative but could also arouse emotion.
