Say 'Cheese'

Last week's finding in a Melbourne op shop: an Hadeland cheese plate.There is a lot to be said about this piece but perhaps the pictures attached to the link below speak for themselves. Lee Grover (1975) notes that the 'unique character and style of Hadeland's glass is due in no small degree to the fact that Hadeland was one of the first industrial concerns in Norway to employ people for their artistic talent'. This particular piece was designed by one of the most influential Norwegian artist of the 70s: Benny Motzfeldt.
