Målerås

Målerås is a small village and locality situated in Nybro Municipality, Kalmar County, Sweden. It is best known as the home of Målerås Glasbruk (Målerås Glassworks), a renowned manufacturer of art glass.

The village's identity is strongly tied to its glassmaking history. The glassworks was founded in 1981 by Mats Jonasson and has gained international recognition for its high-quality crystal sculptures and art glass pieces. These pieces often feature nature-inspired designs, particularly those depicting Nordic wildlife. The glassworks is a significant employer in the area and a popular tourist destination. Visitors can observe the glassblowing process and purchase directly from the on-site shop.

Beyond the glassworks, Målerås is a typical Swedish rural village with a close-knit community. Its location in the Småland region places it within an area rich in forests and lakes.
