 Antiques News & Fairs - The Chester Decorative Antiques & Art Fair 10 - 12 February 2023

Glass of All Ages - Glass owl is by Mats Jonasson (b.1945) for Maleras of Sweden. “Mats Jonasson’s
talent as a designer attracted attention early on when he started work as an apprentice engraver
at the glassworks in 1959. Over the next few decades he worked with many of the most respected
contemporary glass artists in Sweden. During this period, he developed that natural style. "Our
forests have captured the hearts and minds of people since time immemorial", says Mats. Inspired by
the natural world around him, he has opened his mind to create his distinctive masterpieces in the
finest Swedish crystal. Nowadays, this son of the glassworks is represented all over the world.”

I’ve been acquiring a great deal of top-rate stock and I’m looking forward to the spring season."
