Description from the seller
Orrefors – “Triangle” commemorative bowl/sculpture for SKF 100 Years 1907–2007 – Crystal – With original box
Description
Elegant and rare commemorative bowl/sculpture created by Orrefors Sweden on the occasion of SKF’s centenary (1907–2007).
The object features a distinctive triangular shape in solid, clear crystal, with a central black insert on which three gold nuggets are applied.
The piece was made to celebrate SKF’s 100 years, a Swedish company founded in 1907 and famous worldwide for bearing manufacture.
A particularly interesting detail concerns the three gold nuggets: according to SKF’s official centenary documentation, they symbolize clay, an element linked to the company’s origins. Founder Sven Wingqvist faced the problem of misalignment of machine shafts in a textile factory built on clay-rich ground; the search for a solution led to the development of the famous SKF self-aligning ball bearing.
On the crystal are the Orrefors Sweden mark and the designer’s signature/engraving.
The piece also retains the original black packaging, bearing the graphic:
“SKF 100 YEARS 2007”
The presence of the original packaging makes the lot particularly complete and interesting for collectors of Orrefors, Swedish design, Scandinavian crystal, and SKF corporate memorabilia.
