Topic: Orrefors Rhino - help with code numbers please

I think I'm right in saying that the shape/design may be dated from that period, but they could have been made more recently.

Could you tell me a bit more please?  Do you mean that the work could have been done by someone else to Olle Alberius design?  How much more recently do you think?

Thanks

I meant that the shape/design could date to a period in the past, but the production might be recent.  In other words, they could still be producing today what was designed thirty years ago.

Thanks for that Max

I suppose they could, but I have looked through whatever catalogues I can find online, and the only animals I am able to find look very different designs.  There doesn't seem to be a great deal available on the web about them though, just tantalising hints here and there.  That is most probably a lack in my search skills though rather than a lack of information!

Interesting, although not really that much use to you either.  I was looking for information on the type of sticker you had.

Thanks Max, that was interesting.  So that narrows it down to between 1960 and 2000

As Bill Geary hasn't had a punt at whether your items could be new production or not, then I don't think anyone else here will know either, as Bill knows a lot about Orrefors.  He wrote 'Creative Energies', a book covering Scandinavian glass:

Here are the photos of the rhino as promised - sorry I know they are really bad.  I must get some practice in with this new camera and get an area set up for photography.....one day.....
