Product Information

Bertil Vallien is devoted and consistent. His objects created for Kosta Boda develop over time, and he is always looking to extract more from his work. Gatekeeper is a case in point. Previous executions range from charcoal drawings to glass and metal objects. In the summer of 2021, large-format adaptations were exhibited in the famous garden of the Royal Palace “Solliden”, on Öland in Sweden, providing a magnificent spectacle for the audience. The two impressive Gatekeeper figures from the exhibition – almost 20 inches tall and fixed by thin wires – gave the impression of drifting. A trademark Vallien face rests inside these shimmering miniature Gatekeepers. This peaceful and mythical sculpture might evoke references to ancient and Egyptian burial rituals.

Gatekeeper is handmade in Kosta, Sweden, and available in a limited edition of 60 pieces.

Master of Sand Casting

Bertil Vallien

Bertil Vallien (born in 1938) is an artist who needs no further introduction for anyone who loves the beauty and mystery of glass. During his 60-year career, Vallien has become renowned among glass enthusiasts, primarily for his sand-cast sculptures and especially his world-famous glass ships. “From the very first moment, I was captivated by the seductive properties of glass. I have dedicated my entire life as an artist to exploring and pushing the limits of this material.”
