An Overview of Eva-Lena Martinsons´ animals
The multi-artist Eva-Lena Martinson designed in the early 1990s about fifty charming glass animals. The series was then manufactured by hand at the Skruf glassworks between 1991 and 2000. The animals have swelling shapes with strong colors and contrasting added parts. Their expression is joyful and humorous. The figurines are often set on wooden blocks, but some of them are also found on metal bars. Which of Eva-Lena's animals is your favorite?
