History:
Mats Jonasson was born in 1945, and he is the third generation of Master glass Craftsmen. He has developed new techniques for sandblasting glass with new ideas for designs in glass. Mats Jonnasson has been singular in capturing wildlife proportions into handmade crystal, and his feeling for shape, his accuracy of style and his attention to detail, is totally individual and has gained him wide recognition and a coveted reputation with collectors around the world.
The Mats Jonasson glassworks began as Maleras glassworks, which was founded in 1924 in Sweden. Mats Jonasson began working at Maleras in 1959. In 1969 he left to work at Kosta, coming back to Maleras in 1975. In 1965, Maleras became part of the Flygsfors group, and then joined the Royal Krona group in 1974. Kosta Boda took over in 1977, and in 1981, the employees of Maleras bought the company and ran it themselves. In 1988 Mats Jonasson took over the company and became managing director and chief designer. The company is still in production today, under the name Mats Jonasson Maleras.
