DescriptionDescription: This bowl is part of Gunnar Cyrén’s line of hand painted glass with uniformed men and naked girls in landscapes of blue and yellow garlands and Swedish birches. The pieces depicted themes such as weddings, bicycle outings and bands, and provoked debate. A viewer today would probably expect the debate to have been about the view of women reflected in the pieces, but what most provoked criticism was the high price of the bowls.
