I'm 100% sure it's designed by Palmqvist. I have seen it many times here in Sweden and I think I have another version in stock.
I think this was designed during the 50's.

I did what I should have done in the first place - emailed Orrefors. They were very kind and immediately identified the piece. Ross, you were right about the number! I'm curious to learn when it was produced, and what the name of the series was (I asked, and I'll let you know what I hear).
Good lesson for a newbie - ask the company first! Thanks for your help, everyone, John
"Dear John.
Your vase was in a catalog from 1972 and the designer was Sven Palmqvist. The article number is 4046 and it was eight different vases and bowls.
Your size have the article number 4046-121.
Sincerely Yours
Lena and Kia"

that's what i told you from the beginning.
But it might be earlier than 72 since he quit working there 1971. It could ofcourse be an older design that eariler was rejected. But looking at the engraving technique i would say it's earlier.

Sorry Daniel
But in an earlier posting you mentioned having contaced Palmqvist, and since he has been dead since 1984, what powers do you have?
Having spent many days at Orrefors and in the late 1980's and been by his house a thousand times while visiting Olle
Alberius, I never saw one of the great inovators of glass techniques.

Daniel said "written Palmqvist", not written to Palmqvist, meaning he'd already given John the answer

I was 7 when he died so I have never claimed that. Nor have I written that I have contacted him. Just that I already have written that the piece is designed by SP.
My grandfather knew him very well(my grandfather worked at Orrefors for 37 years) and I myself have been in the same class as his grand children.
I have also worked at both OF and KB.
I have a modest collection of maybe 1000 pieces. Getting offended here is of no use for me, I will stop contributing.

Please don't stop contributing Daniel. It was just a misunderstanding and the sort of thing that happens when not everyone's first language is the same.
