Description from the seller
Mats Jonasson – Målerås Glasbruk – Masqot “Shama” – model/patroonnummer 8163 - Swedish lead crystal sculpture
A distinctive and expressive crystal art object from the Masqot series, designed by the renowned Swedish glass artist Mats Jonasson (1945) for Målerås Glasbruk, Sweden.
This model, “Shama”, presents a powerfully stylized human face or mask. The striking eyes, long geometric nose section and asymmetrically shaped side give the sculpture an almost archaic and mystical appearance.
The object is manufactured from clear lead crystal, combining transparent, matte, and darkly accented portions. Through these different treatments a special three-dimensional effect arises and the expression of the face changes depending on the lighting and viewing angle.
A hallmark of Mats Jonasson’s work is the way images and reliefs seem to emerge from the solid crystal. The Masqot series belongs to his more pronounced and sculptural designs and forms an interesting contrast with the well-known animal figures for which Jonasson also gained international fame.
Remarkably, the original transparent factory label is still present, with the note:
Mats Jonasson – Målerås – Sweden – Full Lead
