Based on information found online:
Edvin Öhrström joined Orrefors in 1936
One of the first things done by Edvin Öhrström was to explore the concept of creating optical effects within the vessel. He developed a tool to create indentations inside a vase or bowl while still on the end of a ponti rod. This new technique created reflections of light from within the form.
examples from 1937 include vases FU 1746, FA 1806 and FA 1832.
During 1939 we see some examples FA 1884, FA 1886, FU 1887, and FU 1892 which include vases and bowls.
Happy Hunting!
