Just add it to this thread - if it's a useful conclusion, then it's good to keep everything in one place for archiving purposes if it makes the cut.

Out of curiousity, did Mr. Leth get back to you on your enquiry?

Hi all at glassmessages

Leith did reply, sorry been so busy. Thank you for helping me.

Here is a copy of the reply.


Hello Carol.
Thursday I shared your photo file with my network.
I'm sorry, but nothing definite came up.
An outspoken hesitation towards calling it Holmegaard.
I consulted a couple of experienced glassblowers who were present at the
opening of our Jacob E. Bang exhibition.
I, myself would feel inclined to say Swedish ....
Sorry, can't make it any better.

Thanks.

Swedish? That's a surprising guess. Hopefully one with a label will turn up sooner or later and put us all out of our miseries. I've kept an eye out for these on eBay and at fairs, but no such luck as yet.

Hi can I throw in a possible manufacturer?  Magnor, Norway?  I have nothing to which to refer, but something at the back of my mind is reminding me of a similar vase /carafe I had years ago, and was attributed to Magnor by a friend who was into Scandi stuff then.  Perhaps another avenue to explore?  Emmi

Thought I'd drag this one up from the archives, to see if anyone can help. I would be interested in either purchasing one of these carafes/pitchers to use as a comparison against the Chance 'Giraffe' carafe, c.1957 onwards, or a photo of same.

BTW, it is worth noting the design similarity to Holmegaard's Jazz carafe from the Meantime range: http://holmegaard.com/presse/detail.asp?iType=&iPic=134
