Vases By Kosta Boda
The early 18th century was not a good time to start new companies. The long wars of Charles XII
had severely impaired commerce, but efforts began gradually to repair the economy of the nation.
It was at this time that the governors of Kronoberg County and Kalmar County, General Anders KOskull
and General George Bogislaus STAel von Hoistein, founded Kosta Glassworks in the province of Smaland.
The name was created through combining the first syllables of their names, KO-STA.
In that period skilled workers were not available in Sweden, and consequently four glass blowers
were called to Kosta from Germany, then the leading glass producing nation. They were the first
in the long series of skilled craftsmen who have made possible the continued existence of Kosta
for more than 250 years.
Since 1990 Kosta Boda through a merger with Orrefors, is part of a larger group of
nine different glassworks. All of them are situated in the south of Sweden,
in a region called the Kingdom of Glass
