Help ID Glass Bowl, ID = studio De Oude Horn, Willem Heesen
« on: January 14, 2013, 02:49:30 PM »
HI! I need some (a lot actually) help with identifying the maker of a glass bwol I own. It's signed and numbered and seems to be Scandinavian. The signature is something like 'N.Hesen'?? Can't seem to attach any pictures because not allowed of file size.
Many thanks!!
Kind regards,
Juliette Nieuwland

Hoi Juul welkom aan boord. Stuur de foto's even door dan knip ik ze op maat en stuur ze terug.  Het zal waarschijnlijk Willem Heesen zijn? Mijn email kun je links aanklikken.
Groeten
Ivo

As suspected - this is an Unica bu Willem Heesen, one of the renowned Dutch glass artists, dated 24 December 1983 and made at glass studio De Oude Horn in Acquooy near Leerdam.

Congratulations Juliette on such a stunning piece.

hello Juliette and welcome to the board :)
your vase is beautiful!!  I'm glad Ivo helped you identify it :)
It's a name I have not heard of before so someone new to look up and research.
