Glasshytta Irene Harvik
Glasshytta Irene Harvik is a glass workshop in Sandefjord, Norway, producing its own designs including wine and water glasses, small spirit glasses, vases and bowls. Irene Harvik's own presentation highlights drinking glasses as a central interest and the aim of making glass that works well in use.
Artist, workshop and company
The workshop's website also uses the company name Glasshytta Harvik og Karlsen DA. An artist's name, a workshop trading name and a legal company name may therefore appear in records for the same business. Record precisely what a label or receipt actually identifies.
Model and sales channel
Harvik states that her own designs are made to order and much production is sold through galleries and shops. A gallery named on a price label is not necessarily the producer. Compare the particular object with a confirmed model, not merely a general idea of hand-blown glass.
Photograph the profile, foot, stem where relevant and underside. Record dimensions, colour, applied details, signatures and damage. Handmade variation is not automatically damage, but neither does it alone prove that an unmarked glass was made at Harvik's workshop.
