Vase by Ernest Gordon for Åfors Kristall, Sweden. 1950s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Born in Sheffield, Ernest Gordon Adsetts studied sculpture at Sheffield School of Art (1941-44) and then at the Royal College of Art (c.1945-7). Ernest Gordon was a friend of the sculptor George Fullard and they shared a studio after leaving art school. In early 1951, they were commissioned to make models of Queen Shu-bad's harp and a Celtic chariot for a display at the Festival of Britain, and in 1953 they modelled a piece called 'All the Queen's horses and all the Queen's men' for the Coronation cavalcade in that year's Ideal Home exhibition.

He went to Stockholm in early 1954 to work in glass, first designing for Kosta with Vicke Lindstrand, and then later that year for Åfors, where he worked until 1961. He was known as Ernest Gordon whilst working in Sweden. In the early 1960s he moved back to the UK and started the English part of the Swedish firm Konstsmide and remained a director of Konstsmide UK Ltd until his retirement.
