inset blown glass piece, model number '409', marked with Georg Jensen hallmark, 'TORUN' and '925'
Provenance:
This work is sold together with a Certificate of Authenticity from Marcia Ina Erika Coleman Diallo, daughter of the artist.
The choker was made by Torun during her Indonesian period in the late 1990s, with mouth blown glass she had designed with glass blowers in Sweden. The mouth blown glass project was a homage to Swedish glass artist Edward Hald, who had given her a handful of his creations to make jewelry in the 1950s.
The choker was a prototype for George Jensen, and originally came from the artist's private collection.
