Hullo Peter.

More succintly, the information that I have from Lis is that Brauer was at the factory in Odense from 1931 - 1936, and then moved to the factory in Kastrup from 1936 onwards, becoming Master there in 1946.

For Michael Bang, I have Odense 1968 - 1974, then Fensmark 1974 - until around 2000/2002. Prior to this he worked in ceramics (RC and Bjorn Wiinblad), and in glass at Ekenas, Sweden, from 1966-68.

Type error there MB not 1958 but 1968.

I can not say only that Otto Brauer was hut master in Odense (Fyens Glasværk) in 1952 and the literature says that late in the 1950s did he get his Internationale known gulvvase in production.

Have not seen any documentation the time periodes of employment for OB so I am not abel to confirm that it will just be guess work, but 1952 i was working in Odense.

What's your reference for the late-1950s production of the OB gulvvase? DG 1925-85, as well as a few other sources, state it as 1962.

As you can see of the catalogue Otto Brauer do not appear as designer of the floorvases, it simply says Household articles in 1973-1976 catalogue it says "Art glassware from Holmegaard. Designed by well-known Artists" but no mention of Otto Brauer so I do not think that it has been a easy way to get this "spare time" vase to become a part of production, maybe it all is a coincident that the vase at all became a production item, I don't know.

I know that reference here and there are 1962 and that is what I do my self, but that was more based on the oldest catalogue in where to find gulvvaser and often items can be a couple of years under way before there appear in catalogue, but I am sure that I shall have that changed to perhaps 1958 instead and the source is "Fyns Glasvenner" they specialise in Fyens Glasswork.
