Kosta Bowl, signature/dating help needed.
« on: September 04, 2010, 01:49:13 AM »
Hi all.

I have this lovely Kosta bowl, it is signed Kosta WH 5569. It measures 8 5/8" in diameter and is smoke grey in color.
Would anyone be able to help me with artist/date info? I've not been able to find anything on my own.






Thanks for any advise you can give.

Possible Wärff.

But it doesn't seem  ready, the bottom looks unpolished.

Another worry is the 4 digit numbering.  I have only ever seen 5 digit codes and this vase looks quite modern.  I suggest you email Kosta Boda USA and ask if someone recognises it.  They have been very helpful with identifying two pieces that were not in the three Kosta Boda books I have.  I actually asked Sweden and they passed me on to the USA.

Look at older pieces and you will find plenty 4 digit numbers. Some times you find a 0 before ie 01234, these often only have Kosta in front, no designer initials and those were sale pieces. Things that were sold out.
