This is not really my thing, but I found this in one of my favorite haunts and with the lable immediately thought of you all.

I am not very good at closeup pics and even though I took one of the lable, I will tell you what it says.  Danish Glass  Made in Denmark from Svend Jensen of Denmark. The design reminds me of the Spirographs I played with many moons ago and is done all in gold.  Terry

Thanks Terry! An excellent find and a company I wasn't aware of.

Could I trouble you for the high-resolution versions of these photos? Feel free to email them to me.

Just in case: there is a 5MB limit on that mailbox, but individual mails under this size will be fine.

Is that their US importer or do the manufacture in US too?

I wonder if it's a case of wandering label, Svend jensen seems to be stemware, vases and porcelain

[David E]

Don't think so:

SVEND JENSEN is a designer and at least one company, it could be that rather than an individual that it is a design company. The eBay example is of a type of motif used by Pirelli in the 1950's - and others.
