Does anyone know if there are any books  about FÃ¥glaviks Glasbruk, it seems to me that it has totally been forgotten in the glaslitterature.

FÃ¥glavik is one of those many glassworks who did not survive long enough to make a lasting impression. Google it - you'll see what I mean.

Very interesting site Ingela, thanks. I've seen some glass on GMB that resembles some listed here and it seems like they were going for 104 years... :o

Wow, yes, fantastic. I recognised one already!!

Thank you Ingela.  :-* ;D
If I know, I'll comment. If I think I know, I'll have a go. If I have no idea, I'll just keep quiet and learn from others, so the next time I'll know.
