Sweden - Nybro, Pukeberg Glasbruk

Pukeberg Glasbruk (Pukeberg Glass factory) is (or better was) one of Sweden’s oldest and most well-preserved glassworks. Glass has been produced here since 1871; the former factory is located in a wonderful green environment nearby the town of Nybro. It is part of the so called Glasriket (the Kingdom of Crystal), a region in the Swedish province of Småland, where hand-blown glass has been made since 1742.

Pukeberg is no longer a running factory and during my visit there were just a couple of ‘glass activities’ in the former factory buildings like a glass blower, a large glass shop and a smaller museum. Pukeberg is becoming more and more a centre for new (glass) activities.

Prachtig glas in even prachtige kleuren.
Wat zonde dat de Pukeberg glasindustrie de moderne tijd niet heeft weten te overleven. Ingehaald door fabrieksmatig geproduceerd glas ongetwijfeld.

Geen idee, maar het ziet er nu een beetje naargeestig uit met één glasblazer in een verder lege oude fabriekshal. In die buurt wordt nog wel veel glas geblazen overigens.

Kan me voorstellen dat het een beetje treurig gezicht is. Aan de andere kant, als er nog veel glas geblazen wordt, gaat de kennis toch niet verloren en wordt ook vast wel weer doorgegeven. Dat stemt weer hoopvol.

In de 'oude' gebouwen van Pukeberg zitten nu ook allerlei op glasblazen gerichte instellingen/bedrijven. Dus dat komt - geloof ik - wel goed.

Very fine picture, Jaap.
Unfortunately many companies in the glass industry in Europe had to close down or were dramatically resized. But at least there is still something beautiful produced there.

What funky colours, glass blowing is such a fascinating process , I remember going with my dad to see the Dartington Glass site in North Devon in the early 1970s .
