Absolut Bottle Sculpture (Anna Örnberg)| 2001 | Sweden | 500
Absolut glass sculpture on lighted pedestal with wooden crate (Sweden, 2001) - # 107/500
This glass item was created by the glass artist and designer Anna Örnberg and manufactured exclusively for Absolut Vodka in a limited and numbered series of 500 items. The glass item is sand cast at Studioglas Strömbergshyttan, a small yet well-reputed glass studio, where one works mainly with manually produced glass and advanced glassblowing techniques. Artistic quality and skilled craftsmanship demands are high. The glass studio is run by the three Glassblowing Masters (Mikael Axenbrant, Håkan Gunnarsson and Leif Persson). Together they represent vast experience and great knowledge in the transformation of glowing molten glass into sparkling glass items - solid yet so fragile.
Sand casting is an ancient technique, which involves the creation of a separate sand mould for each item produced. In other words, the bottle was first shaped using oil moistened, fine-grained sand that has been allowed to dry and become hard, before the molten glass is poured into the mould. It is heavy and hot work requiring great accuracy and timed precision. The sand mould is then stored for two days in a temperature-regulated oven, as the glass slowly cools down to room temperature
