Sweden's Glass

It wasn’t till I had a glob of molten glass on the end of a steel pipe did I realize how hard glass blowing is. Since 1746 glass has been made at Kosta Boda, and it is well crafted. This area of Sweden is call the Kingdom of Crystal and a stop at Kosta surely explains why.

After we stopped at master craftsman Jan-Erik Ritzman’s studio out in the Swedish countryside, the shop was filled with amazing glass figures. We ended the day in the small town of Vaxjo where one of Sweden’s best new restaurants is located, PM & Vanner. All in all it was a great day in the Kingdom.
