FM Ronneby Konstglas Crystal Glass Cat, Blended Lilac Purple, Green, and Clear, Made in Sweden
This is a vintage crystal glass cat figurine from F. M. Ronneby Konstglas of Sweden. It is well crafted lilac and green art glass. The lilac color can change to a smoky blue depending on the lighting. This is due to Neodymium oxide (Nd²O³) in the glass. The original label reads "Handiwork store FM" (label partially damaged) Konstglas Ronneby Sweden. I estimate this piece was crafted from the time the Marcolin brothers established the business in Ronneby, Sweden in 1961 until the name was changed in 1983.
It measures approximately 6" tall and 3-1/2" in diameter at the bottom. It's in fine condition, no chips, cracks, or cloudiness. The label does show some wear (please see photos). It has been been well cared for over the years.
If you love vintage art glass cats, this one displays very well and will make a fine addition to your home.
