Daniel Erlandsson (Glassøyet)

Daniel Erlandsson is a glassblower from Kosta, Sweden, working in Hokksund under the name Glassøyet. Norske glasskunstnere describes his Kosta training and work on both contemporary glass and historically inspired designs at Nøstetangen Glass.

This modern workshop must be distinguished from the eighteenth-century Nøstetangen glassworks. A new piece based on a historic design is not an original from that factory. In 2017 Kongsberg parish documented numbered glass ornaments made by Erlandsson and assistant Maja Larsson, inspired by the church's chandeliers. The first was an oval pendant with twisted ribs.

For identification, compare shape, colour, dimensions and any numbering with records for the specific series. Artist, workshop and historical model have different roles. Resemblance to Nøstetangen glass alone does not establish an eighteenth-century date.
