"Ticka" Limited Edition Decorative Accent by Ellen Ehk Akesson

When Ellen Ehk Åkesson was asked to create an art object in honor of Ulrica Hydman Vallien's artistry, the magnificent "Ticka" was born. The object became part of Kosta Boda's 2021 tribute collection to the late Hydman Vallien. Ticka is a vessel from Ellen's own imagination based on the same shape as Ulrica's "Snake Bowl". "I wanted to make something of my own, but with a connection to Ulrica's art. For the tribute collection, I was inspired by the directness of her approach and style. The vessel symbolizes a tree trunk. It's covered with modeled polypore mushrooms, called ‘Ticka' in Swedish - hence the name." - Ellen Ehk Åkesson Handcrafted of leadfree crystal and glass Limited edition of 100 pieces Approx. 8.3"Dia. x 9.8"T Wipe clean Made in Sweden
