Product Information

The Venus Clam is created by the Swedish artist Åsa Jungnelius and inspired by Sandro Botticelli’s famous painting, The Birth of Venus, from the 1480s, in which the Roman goddess Venus emerges on a clam shell after she is birthed from the sea. The Venus Clam is a decorative object with a dual role as a dish and is part of the Kosta Boda Artist Collection. The piece is handmade at Kosta Glassworks, Sweden, in a subtle pink color, which is first melted down, and then obtained from a ceramic crucible. It is an elaborate process that leads to a beautiful result.

Åsa Jungnelius

Åsa Jungnelius (born in 1975) lives and works in Stockholm and in Månsamåla, Sweden, where she previously shared the glassworks with the celebrated Kosta Boda artist Ulrica Hydman Vallien, her mentor and a great source of inspiration. In 2004, the artist had her first major success with her degree project created for one of Sweden's most prestigious art and design universities, called “I like your hairstyle!” In the installation, she created a surrealist shopping scene with objects that spark desire.
