- Bonnie Schwartz, The International Design Magazine, I.D. Magazine, New York, Juni 1997 ("Blown into hand-turned wooden molds, Anna Carlgren's limited-edition crystal Waterset is as much a collector's item as utilitarian houseware. When full, the sculptural object appears to be solid and, owing to its curvilinear surface, fragments light coming through it like a lens.")

- Susanne K. Frantz, Jury Statement, in: New Glass Review 17, 1996, S. 75 ("Despite what one might deduce from perusing the international trade publications, industry is still capable of producing intelligent contemporary tableware, as proven by Anna Carlgren and Vratislav Sotola. Each design - Carlgren's for a a carafe and glass "tumble-up" [...] - is composed of simple paired shapes devoid of gimmickry and clearly able to perform its job. The unpretentious beauty of the drinking set stems from its balanced proportions and just slightly waisted neck, which mirrors the curve of the cup. [...] The designs share two important pragmatic qualities: they can be produced economically by a factory, and they are likely to have a wide appeal without slavishly pandering to testmarket results.")
