VTG Viking Epic Stockholm Green Spiked Lotus Bowl Wayne Husted Art Glass Blenko

Gorgeous, vintage Viking bowl in the STOCKHOLM pattern with five tall spikes. Stockholm was part of the EPIC line of art glass. The outside of the bowl has a slightly rough texture, but the inner surface is smooth. It was designed by Wayne Husted, and made by hand in the U.S.A. Husted designed glass for Blenko before bringing his considerable talents to Viking. Viking made beautiful art glass beginning in 1944, and continuing until 1999. The EPIC line, with its sleek shapes and bold colors was one of the most popular, and is highly treasured by art glass collectors today. EPIC glass was produced from 1956 to 1975, expanding from 14 different pieces at the beginning, to 50 or more by the early 1960s. The bold colors, swags, pulls and drapes the artisans used to produce the line were often imitated by other glass makers, but will forever be associated with the Epic Line. A fine example of Viking hand made glass, and a beautiful piece to add to your collection!
