"Bertil Vallien, one of the world's most celebrated glass artists, collaborates closely with the master glassmakers at Kosta Boda who produce these unique heads from lead-free crystal. Starting with basically the same face, the Brains icons may have color, texture, gold leaf, or silver leaf applied during the creative process.
Albert: frosted charcoal gray and white.
Cesare: textured rust and blue.
Jimenez: silver leaf over ultramarine blue.
John Silver: silver leaf with red eyes.
Karolina: frosted blue.
Midas: gold leaf with one blue eye.
New Oden: gold leaf with red eyes.
Pablo: gritty green with rear blue swirl.
Once captivated, you'll be tempted to collect Brains yourself
even as you give them as gifts.
The crystal heads may be washed by hand." --Ann Bieri

A Review of The Brains of Kosta Boda: "We may not know who Bertil Vallien had in mind for all the names of his Brains sculptures, but each shows a distinct persona. The collection of three-inch, three-dimensional glass heads is absolutely stunning, and choosing one is no easy task.
Each makes an unusual gift, and a functional one at that, whether used as a desk paperweight, a conversation starter on a coffee table, or a pocket good-luck charm. Each comes in a soft, black bag inside a striking gift-box, ready to impress and intrigue the recipient." --Ann Bieri
