This stunning crystal bowl came from my mother-in-laws estate in Beverly Hills. I've been a part of the family since 1982 and I know it was in her possession before that. Orrefors introduced this design called 'Corona" in 1978, so this bowl dates between 1978 and 1982. That would put it at one of the earliest ones produced. It was always displayed in a closed glass door hutch and was never used. It is in 'like new" condition. Sorry, no box.
I am discounting the item quite a bit due to an upcoming move.
In my last photo (below), I tried to show the signature on the bottom, but it didn't come out too good.
From Orrefors website:
"Lars Hellsten designed the Corona bowl at the Orrefors Glassworks in Southern Sweden. Corona was inspired by the light surrounding the moon, as Hellsten, one of Scandinavia's finest glass designers, cites nature as his leading design source. Made of purest crystal in the centrifugal technique, which challenges the skills of both artist and glassmaker, Corona has been among Orrefors" best-selling classic designs since it's introduction in 1978".
Height is 3 and 3/8 inches, Width is 4 and 1/2 inch."
Orrefors item number 6438431. Retails today for $175.
Due to the weight, shipping will have to be via USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate packaging. Insurance and signature confirmation will be utilized, meaning the box MUST BE SIGNED FOR at time of delivery. Since these safeguards are for the protection of us both, I split those costs with the buyer.
Buyer to pay $7.95 Insured USPS shipping charges. Delivery is from Nevada.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
