The House Gods have followed Ulrica throughout her life. She first made them in clay, well before she started working with glass. At that time they were bigger and often black. But when she decided to devote herself entirely to glass, she brought in light and joie de vivre in new ways. Over the years, a large family of House Gods has been created, appreciated in particular among the many collectors of Ulrica’s work.

About the Designer:
Ulrica Hydman Vallien was a colorful icon in Swedish art. She combined superb craftsmanship with boundless playfulness. Her characteristic motifs have adorned everything from crystal vases to British jets. One of the world's most famous glass artists, Ulrica painted her dramatic, humorous décor with free and unrestrained energy right on the glass.
Kosta Boda is committed to "...develop the expressive power of glass, both artistically and technically," while ensuring that, "Swedish glass will always be elegant, exciting, and of superb quality in both craft and design." At our glassworks in Kosta, our skilled glassworkers are joined by several of Sweden’s most prestigious designers in developing the design, craftsmanship and new techniques. Each piece is a individual work of art and will differ slightly.
