Description: | This is an example of a Swedish glass technique used in conjunction with glass blowing known as a 'Graal'. The 'Graal' technique dates from the early 1900s and was developed at the Orrefors Glass Works in Sweden. Graal involves sandblasting the decoration of the piece prior to blowing as opposed to after. Layers of colour are built up to form a concentration of glass. Areas are then masked and sandblasted. When this concentration of glass is blown the design expands with the form. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1985 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | David Kaplan | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
