Small sugar bowl, blue
Small blue sugar bowl. After model from Finland, 18th century.
Almost all blue glass from 18th-century Sweden-Finland was produced in the eastern part of the realm. The mineral pigment cobalt was often smuggled from Russia, as the blue color was both exclusive and expensive. Today, glassblowers use oxidized cobalt as an additive, which is more sustainable from a biodynamic perspective.

Scanglas sells handcrafted products made from various materials such as glass, metal, horn, bone, and wood. Each product is unique, with natural variations in color, finish, size, and shape that reflect the charm of genuine craftsmanship.
Our historical glassware consists of meticulously crafted replicas that capture the 2000-year history of glassblowing. Each piece is mouth-blown and handmade, featuring details such as decorations and glass threads, giving them an authentic character. A hallmark of handmade glass is the punt mark on the underside, the softly rounded edge on the rim, and subtle variations in size, thickness, and details. The specially formulated glass material mimics historical color tones and includes small air bubbles and structural variations, which together contribute to the glassware's unique and genuine character.
In addition to glass, we also offer products made of metal, horn, bone, and wood. These items are carefully crafted using traditional techniques to preserve their natural properties and highlight the authenticity of the craftsmanship.
