Throughout the 20th century, Orrefors continued to produce a wide range of glassware, including functional items such as wine glasses, bowls, and vases, as well as decorative pieces like figurines and sculptures. The company was especially well-known for its unique crystal designs, which the brand made using a technique called “frosting” that gave the glass a unique matte finish.
The Orrefors manufactory closed in 2012, making some of the brand’s most treasured pieces skyrocket in price and demand. Selling Orrefors glassware can prove particularly lucrative, especially if you have pieces bearing traditional Orrefors marks, certificates of authenticity, or distinguished provenance. A qualified appraisal can help you determine your piece’s actual value and decide whether or not it’s suitable for auction.
