Description
R A R E !!!
God Jul (Merry Christmas) from the "Christmas Portraits" collection
An artistic interpretation of the winter holiday in a wall sculpture.
Hanger on reverse for installing on a wall.
Will arrive packed in original box.
HAND SIGNED by Kjell Engman and dated 2006. I witnessed as Kjell engraved it with his name and date.
I don't believe many of these were made and they may have been made last minute for various U.S. holiday signing events if I recall because they are not etched with the usual company markings nor did they come in with the Kosta Boda stickers. ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC!
So if you're looking for something REALLY UNIQUE, This Is It!
I had the opportunity to spend time with Kjell Engman during my time as the Florida rep for Orrefors Kosta Boda several years ago during several signing events.  I was able to ask him what he was inspired by, what music he liked and was listening to at the time (AC/DC and Led Zeppelin) and what it was like where he lived (on his island with his family and  a few ponies)...
he hand signed several pieces for me during one of our signing events in 2006, this is one of those....
"In creating a design, I start with the circle of life. I like to make glass you can feel, glass that appeals to all of our senses and tries to make use of refraction and light. I want to paint pictures and tell stories all at the same time. What drives me, is a sort of inner search, in which curiosity, the mysterious and mythology are all important ingredients. Glass, the living solid, is my constant companion." Kjell Engman
