An Overview of Bertil Vallien’s Cirrus Series
Bertil Vallien (1938–) has designed many classics for the Swedish glassworks in Åfors, Boda, and Kosta. One of the most well-known series is Cirrus from 1973. It consists of objects with bubbles decor and stained glass in blue or white colors. They are handcrafted giving each model quite a variation in appearance and size.
