Orrefors Vase
« on: July 17, 2011, 06:45:59 PM »
Small Orrefors vase - 4.25" high in clear glass with engraved flower decoration to front - base has marks (see photo) J.F.P. 1794. 1/1 J.N - J could be an I?

Any info ref this piece or the marks welcomed

Thanks Adam

If it is Orrefors it will say so.

To me the marks look as follows Adam
FP 2796 111 SN

I thought all Orrefors was marked as Orrefors - is it marked elsewhere on the base as Orrefors or is that the only marking?

It isn't marked Orrefors - It was sold to me by a collector as Orrefors - I am now doubting it is re the communications on this post - If that is the case, what is it and is it Scandinavian?

Your list of options is considerable. It includes VSL, Lenox, Sea, Johansfors, Lindshammer, Strathearn, and a dozen independent engravers in the Swedish provinces.

I think that it is Orrefors.  The "J" is probably "of = Orrefors".  Sometimes the whole name is used sometime the abbreviation - see the two attached phots of the bases of two Palmquist vases I own - note particularly the way the second is similar to yours.   The P= Palmquist unlimited production.  2746 will be the basic pattern number and the 131(?) a sub pattern for the particular flower pattern used.  SN may be the engraver's initials - Alistair Duncans Ofrrefors Glass book does not list an SN but we need Daniel to tell us for sure.
