Studio Åhus Sweden is a distinguished Swedish art glass studio renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and innovative designs. Established in 1977 by artists Hanne Dreutler and Arthur Zirnsack, the studio is located in the coastal town of Åhus in southeastern Sweden and is celebrated for its mastery of the Graal technique, a complex glassblowing method that involves layering colored glass over a clear core to create intricate patterns and textures. This technique allows for the production of visually striking pieces with depth and luminosity. The studio's portfolio includes a diverse range of glass artworks such as sculptural vases and bowls, paperweights and decorative objects and limited edition collections.

Most Studio Ahus vases of this size and composition are currently selling at auction for between $100 and $200.
