About:
The Strömberg factory, originally established in Sweden in 1876 as Lindfors, was purchased by Edward Strömberg in 1933. Before acquiring Lindfors, Edward had managed Orrefors and later Eda glassworks. Upon taking over, he renamed the factory Strömbergshyttan, which means "Strömberg's cabin" or "hut." Edward worked alongside his wife, Gerda Strömberg, a designer, and several workers from Eda, including Knut Bergqvist, who served as the master glassblower at Strömbergshyttan from 1933 to 1955. Their son, Eric Strömberg, took over the company following Edward's death in 1945, with his wife, Asta, as the designer. Asta continued running the company after Eric's death in 1960. Notable designers during this period included Gunnar Nylund (1952–1975) and Rune Strand in the 1960s. Orrefors acquired the company in 1976, and it was closed in 1979. It is important to note that Studioglas Strömbergshyttan is an unrelated factory, established in 1987.
Strömberg glass is usually signed, with either "Strömbergshyttan", "Strömberg" or sometimes "S-hyttan", along with a letter and number code. The letter indicates the item type, eg B for blomglas (vases), and the number is the model number.
