Kosta Boda Glass Designer Bertil Vallien

Bertil Vallien is an amazing artist and there are many sites available that display the vast array of his work. He has been employed by Kosta Boda since the late 1963 and is probably their most well know designer. http://www.bertilvallien.com/ has a nice selection of pictures of his work. I also found http://www.midnightsundesigns.se/default.asp?page=designer16.asp where they list the beginning dates of his collections. The Feline Viewpoints Collection is from 1995.
