Vicke (Viktor) Lindstrand, glass artist, illustrator, textile artist and ceramic designer. He worked at Orrefors in 1928-41, where he designed glass in classic forms with engraved decor, often stylized figurative motifs. At the Stockholm exhibition in 1930, Orrefors exhibited his painted glass pieces. During the 1930s, the engraved and optic-blown glass with the "Pearl fisher" and "Shark hunter" came with its muscular bare figures. In front of the World Exhibition in Paris 1937, one starts working with the thick-walled glass, and he renewed the "graal" glass and together with Edvin Öhrström he introduced the "ariel" glass. Vicke Lindstrand was artistic director at Upsala-Ekeby 1942-50. After that he came to Kosta as an artistic director 1950-73, where he renewed the glass design and experimented with glass sculptures.

Making An Offer
When an offer is made it must be followed through. Only proceed if you are 100% sure you want to go ahead with it.
Bear in mind that it may take up to 48hrs for an offer to be accepted. If other people have access to your account
this is your responsibility and risk, and "my child did it without me knowing" is not an acceptable reason to cancel
an offer. Only in rare circumstances will the request to cancel an offer be accepted. Bear in mind that if an item has
a lot of watchers on it, when a buyer accepts an offer, they then lose all these other potential buyers as it will have
a different item number if / when it is relisted. Failure to follow through on an offer is likely to end in an unpaid
item for the buyer which could alter their standing on ebay. You cannot leave feedback on an item
which is subject to a resolution issue.
