Betzy Ählström (1857-1934) was a drawing master (art teacher), who got her education in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Copenhagen and London. She was delivering drawings for glass to Reijmyre glassworks for a short period of time. She was actually the first Swedish woman to design art-glass. She designed exquisite Art Nouveau glass in primarily a marqueterie-sur verre technique during only a few years around 1901-1902.
